DAYBREAK by LEONA FISCHER-BOHNERT

First Line: A WEEPING WILLOW SWEEPS THE LAKE
Last Line: THE RAIN WALKS SOFTLY ON THE ROOF.
A weeping willow sweeps the lake
Of mid-night stars -- across its wake
A scarlet maple sheds her name
On golden sisters tinged with flame,
And far away among the leaves
A purple temple's pleated eaves
Stand in the dusk alone, aloof:
The rain walks softly on the roof.
