Oh, the damsel in the cloud!
A poet built a home in the layer
Of the fleeting patches up there,
Just to catch your glimpse and be proud.
You came afloat and stayed a while,
The poet's gloomy face wore a smile!
Then suddenly you fell quiet,
Unannounced, you took a secret flight.
Drifted away to the Eastern sky,
That made the poet drop a sigh.
He fell back to this dusty earth,
And wondered on his real worth!
