I prize the cloudy, tearing sky
For the thoughts that flap and fly
For staying in and reading by
For sitting under
I read a book of Madeline
And her friends in two straight lines
In Paris in a house with vines
Over its old face
Far, far is Paris
And the sky is dark with mystery
Try, catch the thoughts that flap and fly
In the cloudy, tearing sky
That touch and stir and won't be tied
And try to speak them
I think of my old Flower Sky
Of us when we thought we were spies
Of bobbing eggs in Easter dyes
Of walks in London
Try, try to hold my love for you
It knows no measure
This is a day for hearing bagpipes
Somewhere playing
This is a day for hearing sarabandes
And hiding away
Hiding away, hiding away, hiding away
Sky, I hold my tears if you do
Starling thoughts, go over me
