Confetti

LET us sprinkle in the airColours, colours everywhere.Peacock’s eyes in April showersPlucked in silver-sandalled hours,Wings of fireflies iridescent,Jets of drift-wood incandescent.Let us hurl them to the skiesEre the pallid dawn arise.Minion jewel-plumaged birds,Specks and flecks in dappled herds,Tangle in your moonlit hairWhilst you’re smiling unaware.In the paper flutteringPipe-like voices seem to sing,Little flutes of heron bone,Tremulously soft in toneAs by eerie wizards played,Make one wonder, half afraid.Empty trickle of the breezeThrough the perfumed orangeriesLike a tiptoe of a faun,Come a-heralding the dawn.Let us sprinkle in the airColours, colours everywhere.

LET us sprinkle in the air

Colours, colours everywhere.

Peacock’s eyes in April showers

Plucked in silver-sandalled hours,

Wings of fireflies iridescent,

Jets of drift-wood incandescent.

Let us hurl them to the skies

Ere the pallid dawn arise.

Minion jewel-plumaged birds,

Specks and flecks in dappled herds,

Tangle in your moonlit hair

Whilst you’re smiling unaware.

In the paper fluttering

Pipe-like voices seem to sing,

Little flutes of heron bone,

Tremulously soft in tone

As by eerie wizards played,

Make one wonder, half afraid.

Empty trickle of the breeze

Through the perfumed orangeries

Like a tiptoe of a faun,

Come a-heralding the dawn.

Let us sprinkle in the air

Colours, colours everywhere.
