A cloud and a tear

White winged cloud above the land
Hung in the sky a long long while
Its outlines shifted, strange and grand
Changing their shapes with quiet guile
I saw a daring horse in flight
I saw a big house, warm and wide
I saw the earthly world in sight
And somehow, there appeared a tear


That tear of an angel, pure and bright
That tear of a little boy
That tear of a mother in the night
And mine as well, my joyless joy
For what was lost beyond repair
For lives brought down and overthrown
Slowly that burning grief and tear


Faded away, then it was gone
White winged cloud above the land
Became an angel in a breath
With snowy wings, a shining span
Beneath a white shroud, soft as death
And it seemed the cloud just smiled at me
So tender, gentle, calm, and near
It woke a wish inside my heart
To sing for you a song of it


White winged cloud above the land
Hung in the sky a long long while
Its outlines shifted, strange and grand
Changing their shapes with quiet guile
I saw a daring horse in flight
I saw a big house, warm and wide
I saw the earthly world in sight
And somehow, there appeared a tear
And somehow, there appeared a tear…
