Lavender
Blue
Upon
the horizon of ethereal dreams
set
mountains of misty and midnight blue
crowned
in their glory with white alabaster,
softly
shaded with paleness of lavender hues,
Endlessly
reaching to depths in low valleys
where
upon fertile fields, wild violets bloom -
sprinkled
with thousands on thousands of buds
of
sweet clover of purple dancing under the moon.
Lavender
blue, the most peaceful of colours,
no
need for a rainbow to glisten with dew -
royalty
blended to shades of perfection
of
midnight and purple and lavender blue
