A Day to Dream The morning showed a mist that clung To every tree and also hung In forest aisles, like draperies, That swayed and floated on each breeze. By noon, it all had burned away And morning skies, so dim and gray, Had turned to blue, with just a few Small, puffy clouds, that drifted through. The afternoon was warm and sweet. The dry leaves rustled as my feet Pursued the path beside the stream. A day to linger and to dream. The evening drew down to a close And clouds of amber, orange and rose, Be-decked the west, outdid the sun. Heaped praises on the day just done! Then as the darkness of the night Both captured and then slew the light, The dome of Heaven graciously Flung silver stars, for all to see! Betty Lou Hebert Published by National Library of Congress, 1996 and in Morning song, 1996 [This message has been edited by Trillium (08-23-2003 12:26 AM).] |
