Sky-dweller

She’s living on a cloud, they say;
She sweeps it carefully each day;
She dusts and mops, and scrubs the floor,
And when it sparkles, scours some more.
She washes, cooks, and sews and cans
And budgets, markets, shops and plans.

I hear her singing gaily there
On her rose-colored spot of air
Until, at four, this housewife fades
To turn up glamorest of maids
Who, at five, tilts lips tender, proud,
Up to the guy who built her cloud.
