Here you will find the Poem The Coloured Hours of poet Marjorie Lowry Christie Pickthall

The Coloured Hours

GRAY hours have cities,
Green hours have rhymes
Of hearts grown loving
In old summertimes,
But the white hours have only
A cloud in the sky
And a star, bright and lonely,
To remember them by.

Gold hours have laughter,
Red hours have song
Drawn from lost fountains
Of beauty and wrong.
But the white hours,?O, tender
As rose-flakes they lie,
With youth's fallen splendour
To remember them by.
