Shimmers splendent merge, laden tendrils waver Descending drops of water disperse in lucid layer A smile spread over rainbow sky Refracted in the raindrops crying eye They fall away to where the sun hangs brightly Trickling down where on the dews are shown In the play of moments moving lightly On the grounds of morning's blooming down
Every hour of every day, every leaf on every tree Each expression borne of every thought A sudden joy swarmed to a heart with open arms reaching out Through time to set a place for the unthought On that day the welcome is inviting With chime, ceremony and good cheer In the play of moments moving lightly To the sounds of morning breaking clear
Here the naked child among the others 'neath the sun Some thrust forward like snakes Some stood upwise and erect Some stiffened, taut, virginal and prim Some bent dead in curves graceful and thin They grow away to where the sun hangs brightly Trickling down where on the dews are seen In the play of moments moving lightly On the bounds of Morning's Waking Dream
