Song of Summer Morning
Sunlight spills with trills of birdsong,
floating through the air on blithe wings
of summer morn —
How alight are the chirrups of the wren!
How alive are the chatters of the
sparrow!
Soft are the whispered whirrs of a blue
jay
to rouse us from dreams,
Sweet are the coos of a mourning dove
to stir us from sleep.
Symphonies of summer splendor awake at
dawn,
fresh and bright as shimmering dew upon
fields of green —
How fortunate the many feathered voices
of nature!
How splendid the yellow warblers' song
heralds the day!
Swift are the robins' calls
to wake us from slumber,
Serene are the starlings' melodies
to move us towards joy.
