Notes About The Poem

A Whiff of Happiness

Cheerful view as up on the high hill
Our birds sing with gusto and elation.

From phlox to daisies, butterflies flit and thrill,
Cheerful view as up on the high hill,
One can hear the mystic notes of a flute still,
Songs that pacify the soul, with sensation.

Cheerful view as up on the high hill,
Our birds sing with gusto and elation.
