Notes About The Poem

The beautiful colours of nature fill a day with changes which are wonderful to watch.

Colours of a Day

Colours Of A Day

				Colours bright to meet the morning,
				Yellow of sun and white of clouds
				Across blue sky, after the dawning
				When pink and gold encircle the sun
				And the glory of daybreak is begun.

				Refresh your eyes with cool green grass,
				With grey washed rocks by the river bank,
				With white water rapids as they pass
				A bright golden field of ripened corn
				Where weeping willows droop and mourn.

				They mourn the passing of the day
				In setting sun, red fire and gold,
				And fading cloud-wisps point the way
				To where a dark and starry sky seems
				Lit by the colours of our dreams.
