A Mellow Yellow High
Walking enchanted underneath
a vast high yellow canopy
with coal black struts supporting,
and recalling the heavy scent of drowsy summer evenings.
The honeylike aroma indicating a bees' paradise,
A gentle zephyr suddenly sighed
sending bright yellow snowflake leaves
to their final fall, so forming
an ornate mosaic leaf carpet underfoot,
of every possible sunlike shade.
Cream to chrome, saffron to gold and daffodil.
So generous are the lime trees every year.
