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 occasion they are rising
