The paint box

Cobalt and amber and ultramarine

Ivory black and emerald green,

What shall I paint to give pleasure to
you?

Paint for me something utterly new,

I have painted you tigers in crimson and white,

The colours were good and you
painted them right.

I have painted the cock and a camel,

And painted them true.

Now mix me a colour that nobody knows,

And paint me a country where nobody goes,

And put in it people-a little like you,

Watching a unicorn drinking the dew.

E.V.Rieu
