Lowry, Malcolm: Happiness
Happiness (English)Blue mountains with snow and blue cold rough water, A wild sky full of stars at rising And Venus and the gibbous moon at sunrise, Gulls following a motorboat against the wind, Trees with branches rooted in air – Sitting in the sun at noon with the furiously Smoking shadow of the shack chimney – Eagles drive downwind in one, Terns blow backward, A new kind of tobacco at eleven, And my love returning on the four o'clock bus – My God, why have you given this to us?
