One Sunny Day

Trees shaped like lollipops
Stand in the sun
While their russet, ripe branches
Hold leaves by the ton.
They shadow the lawn
With much needed shade;
Children run ‘round
And merry is made.
The morning is gone,
It was dressed in pink hue;
It stole away night
With a mantle of dew.
Ah! But my daydream
Is not such a go
My sun-covered valley
Is drenched white with snow.
