Can anyone help me find where this verse came from
Out of the gloom and the grit and the grey
out of the fog and the bold
you shall come to a land where the peacocks play
in a garden of green and gold
where big blue butterflies haunt the glades
and the snow white egret dreams
where rubies are found by nut brown maids
wading in orange streams
I lived in Burma approx 1953 and when I came to leave a friend wrote the above verse in my autograph book.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you
Heather.
