What Is Pink

What is pink? a rose is pink
By the foutain's brink.
What is red? a poppy's red
In it's barley bed.
What is blue? the sky is blue
Where the clouds float though.
What is white? a swan is white
Sailing in the light.
What is yellow? pears are yellow
Rich and ripe and mellow.
What is green? the grass is green
With small flowers between.
What is violet? clouds are violet
In the summer twilight.
What is orange? why ,an orange
Just an orange!
