water is a lovely thing (poem)by anonymous

In the name of allah

water is a lovely thing
dark and quiet in a pool


in a puddle brown and cool
in a river blue and gay
in a raindrop silver-grey
in a fountain flashing white
in a dewdrop crystal bright
in a pither frosty-cold
in a bubble pink and gold
in a happy summer sea
just as green as green can be
in a rainbow far unfurled
every colour in the world
all the year from spring to spring
water is the loveliest thing.
