Tinged by the rising sun,
And in the dawn they floated on
And mingled into one.

My skirts up in the air,
And fly I well know whither,
And rest I well know where.

Just after sunset, or by moonlight skies,
To make the shifting clouds be what you please,
Or let the easily persuaded eyes
Own each quaint likeness issuing from the mould
Of a friend's fancy.

The inner half of every cloud
Is bright and shining:

And always wear them inside out
To show the lining.

So tenderly by the wind, floats fast away
Over the snowy peaks!
