A vast endless plain, wet from the storm and the hail, Rolling hills with a perpetually infinite progression of scenery. Here, the rules of life, are those in a game of cards, Play well, forget not, with each turn of the wheel. And at the horizon, beyond the reach of man or beast, After the heavy grey and rain, Forms a rainbow, a bridge with the dreams. This storm passed, long before the shadows could haunt, What to fear, my mind at peace, Yet here I stand in a soulless valley, Where is that *** of gold, they promised, At the end of the colour scheme?
