Your colors rare

Your naughty pride
Could not abide
The Summers changeless green,
But you must wear
Those garments rare
Like mantless Of & queen.
You rob the skies

And mornings crimson flush;
Aud :hen by day
Your trophies gay
Bedeck each tree and bush
But hy-nnd-by
The wrathful sky
Will lay Jour beauty low,
And DER your forms

Sweep wide the drifting snow.
Then praise be still
To artist skill.
