Poem: When Clouds Lay Upon the Mountains

Updated: Aug 23, 2021

Dedicated to the memory of my late husband, Jack


By Laura Deane



When clouds lay upon the mountains

And lightly touch the trees

And sun-drenched aspens shower

Their golden gift of leaves


You’ll know I’m thinking of you

In the misty morning dew

In this Rocky Mountain splendor

Where I was kissed by you.


When the snow has brushed the heather

Silken pools caress the sky

And the Crystal River’s singing

About rod and reel and fly


You’ll know I’m thinking of you

In the evening’s amber hue

In this Rocky Mountain Splendor

Where I was wed by you.


When the rolling thunder sermon

Peals forth on lightning’s drum

And the dragonflies are dancing

To a ruby throated hum


You’ll know I’m thinking of you

In the lonely darkest blue

In this Rocky Mountain Splendor

Where I was loved by you
