The Wee Hours Before Dawn

The wee hours before the dawn Small birds join in a chorus of song A sweet and natural symphony That makes your heart want to sing Small birds join a chorus of song Nature in it's awe, the air so fresh begins to warm The rising sun, announcing another day Fresh dew renews all plants in every way A sweet and natural symphony The tiny snail goes about it's way Oblivious to how time is fleeting by Content with his own slow pace That makes your heart want to sing Fresh breeze making all the branches swing Dropping dew upon the lawn The wee hours before the dawn. by Steven Beesley (c) 2005-08-19 Lilibonelle: A form by Bonnie Williams. 4 stanzas of 4 lines per stanza.
