A lovely October morning!
Today I rose much earlier than usual.
I watch the night stealing away,
Like an accused convict under cover.
Sunlight peeks through the leaves.
In the haze of overhanging mist,
Only the blurred silhouette of trees, in sight.
The crows have begun their raucous call.
The leaves of grass are misted with dew.
A cool zephyr blows from the south.
The sky in scintillating colors adorn.
Even Sirius, the brightest star has paled.
Life is slowly beginning to unfold,
And men like shadows have begun to move.
The sun has now climbed to the Eastern hills,
In magisterial glory like a mighty king.
Shattering the mist with his lance like beams,
He exults like a victorious warrior.
His crystal rays rouse the sleeping birds,
And they begin their chorus in wondrous rhyme.
I enjoy the sweetness of this lovely morn.
In serene silence, I stand and watch,
The light that slowly fills the Earth,
Dispelling all trace of overhanging darkness!
