Cloud

Thou airy ship, thou whitish mist! 
Thou float on ocean and the dale
Thou art a painting by my Lord! 
A painting which is not for sale

Thou sooth the hearts of all on earth
Thou heaths and meadows irrigate
Thy castle is in airy field
From earth and heaven isolate
 
O sailing boat, o shroud of earth 
Thou child of sky and forlorn sea
Thou fly with gales soon after birth
O thou that in a wink can flee
