Lake Side With Birch Trees

I could look at this painting
      forever, oh Klimt was a talent!
Lake side with birch trees is where I would like to be,
      beside the dappled blue still water . . . 
        I would pick yellow buttercups,
bluebells and purple larkspur growing wild, oh beautiful;
        Oh dream,
          so sublime.

    Klimt has taken me away
      to a serene place in my mind.
What a divine green dream of nature in tranquility,
      but the painting-  I must leave;
        I think the gallery would miss it . . . 
But, when days are rainy and I am forlorn, I must go;
        to view,
          beauty painted.
