This morning



This morning
-------------------
Pulsating with life
Bathed in the sunshine
In cool seclusion
Amid shimmering pools of water
Amid spectral trees
The morning with its hues glides
Awakening the nature from her sleep
The restless birds on the tree-tops
Are shaking their wings
And a new plant
Quite alien to the garden
Flowering bees
And butterflies this morning
Daisies, clover and buttercup
All soaring up and gliding
Down to grassy heaven
And tiny souls like a fleet of ants
Seen in a lovely array searching for grain
Oh! What a lively morning
Everyone looked primed
And had their lamps lit

To the action they are rising
