PRIMARY RESIDENCE

 

I took some red from off a flame,

   Some green from off the sea,

And made some land all rich and brown

   With night's fertility.

 

I took some yellow off the land,

   Some blue from off the sky,

And made some forests rich and green

   And bid the day goodbye.

     

~ D. Edgar Lamp (Ballad Meter)
