A Coloured Print by Shokei Lyrics by Amy Lowell

A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass

0

It winds along the face of a cliff
         This path which I long to explore,
And over it dashes a waterfall,
         And the air is full of the roar
And the thunderous voice of waters which sweep
In a silver torrent over some steep.
It clears the path with a mighty bound
         And tumbles below and away,
And the trees and the bushes which grow in the rocks
         Are wet with its jewelled spray;
The air is misty and heavy with sound,
And small, wet wildflowers star the ground.
Oh! The dampness is very good to smell,
         And the path is soft to tread,
And beyond the fall it winds up and on,
         While little streamlets thread
Their own meandering way down the hill
Each singing its own little song, until
I forget that 't is only a pictured path,
         And I hear the water and wind,
And look through the mist, and strain my eyes
         To see what there is behind;
For it must lead to a happy land,
This little path by a waterfall spanned.
