It's raining... Is it ? But the clouds are so light. And after rain comes sunshine...

The clouds are so light,
Beautiful, swift and bright,
Cast shadows on fields and human
Of the earth that is so dark.

And even so now, light one !
Beautiful, swift and bright one !
You let fall on a heart that was dark,
Unillumined, a deeper body.

But clouds would have, without earth
To shadow, far less worth;
Away from your shadow on me
Your beauty less would be.

And if it still be treasured
An age hence, it shall be measured
By this small dark spot
Without which it were not...
