When It Is Dawn

When the faint light from the east Grazes the green grass of the lands Tumbling down from the hilltop To settle down across moist sands When from inside the cages parrots Say hymns at the flowers newly born Brides leave sides of the their grooms Standing at the door greet the dawn When the one footed rooster shouts From atop the mound of cow dung When a cool wind lifts the leaves From the slumbers and sings a song Brushing past the hedges it runs To the fields, towards the stream To get lost in the thick grove by its Side like a night's soothing dream Birds fly away towards the sky One by one from inside the nests Draped in a white shroud of light Night goes hiding to take some rests.
