English Poetry |
O’ cloud-maiden, O’ cloud-maiden,
don’t weep, don’t weep!
What jest thy yonder-man did croon,
don’t leap, don’t leap!
Let stars espy, planets lampoon…
their peep is cheap.
Thou lament well, to douse thy woe…
silly, silly!
No reason though I see well so
really, really!
Jolly drizzles thy smiles, gusto
chilly, shrilly!
But lo, deluge thy wail, oh no
vilely, vilely!
O’ cloud-maiden, O’ cloud-maiden,
don’t weep, don’t weep.
Whence fill our rivers, lakes and main
as rain and sleet
thee slake our thirst, thee make our grain.
How sweet, how sweet!
Thy tears of joy are pearls in chain
of grace replete.
Puddles thee make echo refrains
of childhood tweets.
O’ cloud-maiden, O’ cloud-maiden,
don’t weep, don’t weep.
Are fun, love fights, when tempers fly;
they say, they say!
He slurs, thee purr, he pries, thee vie;
ye play, ye play!
It’s game, thee win, he wins, sly, sly…
but pray, we pray!
Ye mind, thy neighbors living nigh
O’ yeah, O’ yeah!
He loves thee much, thy man the sky…
allay, allay.
O’ cloud-maiden, O’ cloud-maiden,
don’t weep, don’t weep.
Lovely poem & lovely use of words 🙂
