V. CLOUDS.

Nobody looks at the clouds
With a love that equals mine,
I know them in their beauty,
In the Morn or Even shine.
I know them and possess them,
My Castles in the air,
My Palaces, Cathedrals,
And Hanging Gardens fair.
Sometimes I think, star-gazing,
That many a monarch proud,
Has far less joy in his Halls of stone
Than I in my Halls of Cloud.
