Subject(s): Cosmology; Nature; Sight


One morning I sat at my window at dawn
And drank in the sweet fragrant breath of the morn;
The beauty of earth and sky were most pain
And I long for that picture, again and again.

At the back of my garden a sight met my eyes,
The magic of nature sprang one glad surprise.
Beautiful star flowers, pink, red and white,
You were truly and surely a wonder delight;
Gracefully swaying on stems slender and tall,
Dainty bright harbingers of early fall.

At the first flush of dawn you turn your sweet faces
And welcome her brightly from misty green laces;
At noontide beneath the sun's hottest rays
You stand straight and tall through warm autumn days.

The evening descends along with the dew,
But faithful your vigil keep all the night through.
In the moonlight you shine so pure and so bright,
One thinks that the stars have deigned to alight
And are guests of our garden just for tonight.

The butterflies love you and so do the bees
And the pretty canaries feed on your seeds.
Beautiful star flowers of the night and the day,
God's whisper of love through all life's long way.
