You are my sky; beneath your circling kindness
My meadows all take in the light and grow;
Laugh with the joy you've given
The joy you've given
And open in a thousand buds, and blow
But when you are sombre, sad, averse, forgetful
Heavily veiled by clouds that brood with rain
Dumbly I lie all shadowed
I lie all shadowed
And dumbly wait for you to shine again
