Vertical Ray

O by lavender light O my golden day Sit beside the window in the morning Watch the roofs and the lights in their change Vertical ray of holiday Test my aloneness Against the weight and length of each day I long for greener pasture But they are not yet of what I am made Vertical ray of holiday Well, the sun will always set As light streams through the door We are closer to Tonawanda Than we have ever been before Vertical ray of holiday
