Golden orb of daylight shine
Deceptive in your glow
No warmth from brilliance do you bring
Upon the earth below

Crystal prisms from clouds above
Tossed about, one by one, adorn
Swirling with the wind so free
Covering ground in the chill of morn

Flaxen skies peek quietly through
As if they are forbidden
Deceiving hope of warmer days
Behind the clouds, are hidden
