A COLORADO JUNE DAWN, by                    
First Line: There is magic interlacing of the shadows and the sun
Last Line: Since you are here to share my glee.
Subject(s): June; Magic; Morning; Summer; Sun


There is magic interlacing of the shadows and the sun
This morning on the bright green grass;
And the light and lilting breezes weave a spell diaphanous
With the poplar spray as talisman.

The silver-breasted swallow, in undisturbed repose,
Preens his feathers on the gleaming wire;
And the hollyhocks are fluttering, exotic butterflies,
As they poise on stately stems before they soar.

The mountains, fringed with pine trees, in their red and russet sheen,
Silhouette against the sky's deep blue;
And all the world is gay, my dear, this golden dawn in June,
Since you are here to share my glee.
