In the early morning dawn, with the dew yet on the lawn;

I sit here alone and dream, how very peaceful it does seem.

Peace and quiet do pervade, as life awakens in the glade.

The morning sun life does awake, as it’s rays through mist do break

The Robin flies to feed her young, the Bluejay’s morning song is sung.

Now the sun is shining bright; gone once more the lonely night.

Awake now world and greet the day, is what the wildlife seem to say

Soon the world begins to stir…if I’m glad, I am not sure

The peace of now will soon be gone, the dew will vanish from the lawn…
