The rainbow sky,
And its crimson dye,
The hailstorm glove
Of the insane love,
The maddening rush
Of the hopeful crush,
Of all the catchings and snatchings,
Of dreaming and screaming,
What words and swords,
What lies and cries,
Of smiles and miles,
And the thousand highs
Of radiant flies,
The grinning days
Of mysterious bays,
Of scorching lights
And soulful nights,
What’s harshly true
Is none but you.
