Days Will Bide Their Time

The morn dawned gray, the fog crouched o'er the sea
It spread across the land; on hill, in vale, it lay
Obscured the rolling meadow, 'till arose a breeze

As sun burned through the mist with slanting ray
A thought did find its way into my mind
That days will bide their time before they say

Now look at us in all our finery designed
To dazzle and delight, as -- our glory we unwind

It sounds like this scene rolled out in a lovely way; and this type of poem has always delighted me. I never remember that it is a terza rima, but this time I wrote it down, determined to try one. Thanks for the education!
