The Sky-Blue Smiles Above The Roof
________________________________________________ Title: The Sky-Blue Smiles Above The Roof Author: Paul Verlaine [More Titles by Verlaine] The sky-blue smiles above the roof Its tenderest; A green tree rears above the roof Its waving crest. The church-bell in the windless sky Peaceably rings, A skylark soaring in the sky Endlessly sings. My God, my God, all life is there, Simple and sweet; The soothing bee-hive murmur there Comes from the street! What have you done, O you that weep In the glad sun,-- Say, with your youth, you man that weep, What have you done?
