All Pleasures Delight

All pleasures delight  as the breaking of dawn
When the dark veil arises to illuminate anew
And the fresh cheer of life is breathed in song
And the eye is filled with a gratifying hue
Of bright colors thrown above the waking land,
That the waltz of youth might stop and gaze upon
To find in awe-struck wonder nature unplanned
And know the feeling of greatness shone,
When the lilted scent of growth is found
Pure among the many things of earth
And all the gladness of one does compound
In the will to desire this rebirth.
