Clouds
Language: English
Clouds adrift in the summer sky Resemble Life, as they wander by. Whence they come and whither they go We often wonder but never know; One little hour we know their grace - They pass like shadows, nor hold their place, Ever recurring, like the dawn, Never enduring, but always gone, Part of the infinite, shall we say, Part of the moment we call today.
