I hear a distant, gay twittering, Night's at the edge of the moon; I see the butterflies flittering, Spring waits at the edge of June! I see the myriad blooms invading, Crowded to edge of forest green; In their glorious colors parading, At the fragrance of noonday sheen! The sun's at the edge of Milky Way, And earth's at the edge of the sun; Time lurks the edge of each new day, 'Til the rainbow clashes with sun! I'm at the edge of plum daydream, And fireflies go in and out of view; When sun's at the edge of moonbeams, Missing those skies of deepest blue! The fields lie on the edge of gold, And blue mountain has lost its snow; Scenic paths are strolled, as of old, And new dawn's at the edge of glow!
