The patchwork land below,

Riven with green,

Ribboned with stone roads

Dotted with sparkling, cubes—

Buildings, toy-like and tiny,

Square upon the garden below,

Suffused in the nearness,

Utterly lost in the distance,

Beneath the glowering clouds to the south,

Roofing the unseen world below.
