Sparkles of gold through its splendid blue.

Who say you are colourless know not you.

Opal gleams on the sunset sky

Where a wave of the liquid sapphire flows;

One bright cloud on its flood drifts by

Of pearl and rose;

The air is radiant and crystalline

As rare jewels delved from a fairy mine.

A breeze just shivers the green of the corn

And sweeps it into a silver sea;
