Anderson. Lyrics of an Italian SCHARMEL IRIS The Forest of the Sky High in the forest of the sky The stars and branches interlace; As cloth-of-gold the fallen leaves lie Where twilight-peacocks lord the place, Spendthrifts of pride and grace. The grapes on vines are rubies red, They burn as flame, when day is done. The Dusk, brown Princess, turns her head While sunset-panthers past her run To caverns of the Sun.
