COLOURS.
How bright is Earth's rich gown
None but an Airman knows
Yellow, and green, and brown--
How bright is Earth's rich gown!
I see, as I gaze down,
Its purple, cream, and rose.
How bright is Earth's rich gown
None but an Airman knows!
THE SEA.
Sad is the lonely sea--
So vast, and smooth, and grey
It stretches far from me.
Sad is the lonely sea!
Its cheerful colours flee
Before the fading day.
Sad is the lonely sea
So vast, and smooth, and grey!
DISILLUSION.
You mortals see the sky--
I only see the ground,
As through the air I fly.
You mortals see the sky,
And yet with envy sigh
Because to earth you're bound!
You mortals see the sky--
I only see the ground!
Written in the Air.
[The end]
