A Nightingale Sings of Dawn's Glory

A nightingale sings at dawn’s glory. Oh!
Exquisite is the sound I am hearing.
Breathtakingly beautiful is Sun’s glow.
On his subjects below Sun is peering.

As he beams down on us from a sky painted pink,
a nightingale sings at dawn’s glory. Oh,
I feel like old Sun just gave me a wink!
And what do I see in front of me? Lo!

In the meadow I stand in there is a young doe -
perfection which stares at me with soft eyes.
A nightingale sings at dawn’s glory. Oh!
Breeze touches my cheeks. So sweetly she sighs.

More birds join in now. It’s like a choir.
Magic at daybreak all creatures can know!
As Sun in Heaven climbs higher and higher,
a nightingale sings at dawn’s glory. Oh!

Seems the nightingale is so magical in its singing that it draws other birds to join in a chorus. Beautiful.

A wonderful quatern, Andrea. Every time I start to write one, it turns into a pantoum or a villanelle. Strange! You have done such a marvelous job with it. Nice writing with a beautiful theme and rhymes.

thanks, I love this form. I feel it works really well when we are given a particular "line" to inspire and when that line is really cool, like this one Edward gave us. (had to tack the OH on the end though for good rhymes)
