What Happens to the Colors?
What happens to the colors
when night replaces day?
What turns the wrens to ravens,
the trees to shades of gray?
Who paints away the garden
when the sky’s a sea of ink?
Who robs the sleeping flowers
of their purple and their pink?
What makes the midnight clover
Quiver black upon the lawn?
What happens to the colors?
What brings them back at dawn?
