Who painted the morning skies?

And those pretty butterflies?

From which market

Did you get the fluorescent white?

Which filled the moon so bright?

Who filled the sea with blue?

Clouds have different colors too.

Who dyed the trees with green?

Everywhere it is seen

Who painted the bamboo shoots?

Who coated the color on fruits?

I don’t know who painted these

What a great mystery it is.
