Blossom Sky

I look upon the blossom sky Like spring afar the colours shine, Above the darkened summits Of this wild and rugged land, The hush of dawn yields silence here But for the breathless breeze that blows, Across the far and distant hills Which in their greatness stand. The sweeping slopes of valleys steep Now catch the beams of sunlight there, As they asorb the amber rays They glow like burnished gold, As shadows lift upon the ground Sweet music flows within the air, As birds now sing with joyful cheer To melt the morning's cold. While heather flows across the heath Their flowers blending into one, Where violet sprigs and yellow gorse Adorn the grassy shawl, And as the carmine clouds do pass Which pale as they so gently drift, I look unto the blossom sky And watch the petals fall.
