Blue sky gives way to softened cloud
Then softly, stealthily, as a shroud
The sky is fully covered, and
Each moment, thickening,
Becomes a blanket of grey mass ~
A dismal scene.
And a certain dimness of the view
Brings change in countenance, and hue.
We see the world a different place ~
Gone the colour, and dim embrace
In it\'s wake ~
A somberness ensues.
