Little Colors Stand and Weep
Green sleep red bright
Dreaming in the yellow of orange;
Blue sleep; in thy purple
Little colors stand and weep
Sweet violet in thy hue
Soft values I can paint
Secret tints and secret highlights
Little pallets sing lyrics
As thy softest glow grow the feel
Triangles as of the morning tetrahedron
O'er thy face and vertex thy crest
Rhombus thy little square doth oblong
O the ellipse wiles that sphere
In thy conical shape asleep!
When thy tessellate circle doth wake
Then the arc night shall protract
