short funny poem

wrap the earth in cloudy weather
the agony of having too much power
i loved a woman
i stand in the cold gray weather
i love my hour of wind and light
one by one, like leaves from a tree
i have to say good-night
could we but know
why so sad my lovely one?
my mother taught me that every night
i never knew the earth had so much gold
her face is fair and smooth and fine
from our hidden places
