A Spring In the Glade

In a far off field are dark green blades growing and a lovely daisy nodding, In a far off meadow a king-cup stands there, with a yellow primrose so fair, In a far off glade there is green grass growing, there I will rest my feet, A warm bright sun shines in the sky and a warm breeze closes my tired eyes. The grass in the glade is sweet and long, softer better than any noble bed, And the sweetness of the grass and the warm sun made me dream many dreams, Then suddenly awakened by the low roar from from a waterfall from far away, I realized it was raining and the noise was from a thousand drops on leaves. Now standing under a tree the rain is soft and gentle, gracious and warm, New life came into me as I stand beneath an oak tree listening to gentle winds, The steady rain wets meadows and mead's, down through cracks in the peat, It travels underground meeting the other raindrops to flow as spring water. Clear springs are feeding the runners, swelling brooks making its way to rivers, There are silver drops on the glade flowers and trees, far away faint rainbow, The sun returns, the bright beams reflects from the wet grass as little prisms, And a bine of crow's-foot entangled in the branch of an elder tree, glistened.
