Beautiful Sky

Topics: classic

O beautiful sky of every hue;     Golden and purple, crimson and blue,     With some sombre lines thrown in between,     And some bright spots of emerald green.     The earth is wed to the sun it seems,     And to grace the robe of his royal bride     No pains are spared, nor a tint untried,     And thus complete it with glory gleams.     He wields his brush as an artist now;     Lo beauty glows on the earth's fair brow!     And the lovely flowers at once arise     To match the glow of the radiant skies,     The sparkling dewdrops at morn are seen,     Close nestling among the petals rare,     Like crystal studs in a maiden's hair,     Brighter then gems which adorn a queen.
