I rise early before
the cocks crow .
I smile as I look out
of the window.
The day is fine and the
sky clear ;
Birds' twittering everywhere
I hear.
I boil water to make a cup of
tea
That's my morning brew
, you see.
Then I clean the house
and feed the chickens
and not forgetting
the milk for mum's kittens .
A great view I have from
the window
overlooking a large
green meadow.
Each dawn , I run
to its grassy buxom
Where many a flowers blossom.
The sunflowers are still droopy
with sleep;
not yet from their
flowery dreams peep .
Yesterday I saw no lilies
among the bushes .
This morning they appear
from hiding places .
From afar a bird calls
Then another answers
Together they circle the
air
Wings flapping ; soaring
with flair.
I breathe in the fresh fragrance .
All my senses in
a deep trance .
I spy at my
dream paradise ;
waiting to see glorious
sunrise .
This is how I start
my new day;
each day so happy
and gay .
I'll be back here
in the even song ;
When the shadows are deep
and long.
