Cloud-loved

Lyon Sharman

FAR up the side of White-cloud Mountain

A deep pool lies,

Content in every change of weather

To reflect the skies;

Fed by the grace of heaven from seeping little springs;

Mirror of pointed firs, solace of eagles’ wings.

And yet the water of the cloud-loved pool

Breaks foaming from the quiet hills away,

To add its trickle to an oceanful,

Flooding, storming, mocking every day.
