This is a poem singing in my heart—
This arch of azure sky
Cloud-flecked and still,
This summer silence,
This unbroken peace,
This little world of beauty
Where I fill
My cup of gladness to the golden brim
From early morning till the sun grows dim
And sinks, with slow reluctance,
Out of sight
To make way for the quiet steps of Night.

How can one day pour out
Such lavish gifts?
The song of bright, almost forgotten birds,
The lacy flash of insects' fairy wings,
The breath of scented flowers
Sweeter than words.
This is a poem singing in my heart—
This lovely day, jeweled and set apart!
