Bearded lover of light,
you braved the sun and snow
to follow her Giverny glow
through the clouds, the crowds,
the pools of water lily,
to capture her on canvas,
to have your way with this
most perfect model plein air.
"When it gets dark," you said,
"I feel as though I'm dying."
And we thank you here
for staying alive,
for brushing your brilliance
into our eyes
with such a touch
of everlasting light.
