(2) 

Dawn blushed; betrayed her waking sky To gently break another morrow fine. Night waned – the black receding – highland Reaching for the early morning wine. The chorus rendered frantic caws and Chirps and other avian song, Mapping out the 'mine and yours, ' and Goading more to sing along! Quiescent water – deep of lake – Reflected out the hazy red, but Through the glass, a flick, a break: An urgent tail from hidden bed! And in the meadow, waking faces Calmly spread a coloured veil; The dew disclosing spider laces – Oft with once a fly’s travail! Dawn blushed; revealed her inner peace; She handed on another blissful day. Night ebbed, relenting to release of Warming blood that gives to her display. the tone of this song is calm,  quiet, peaceful and enjoying what the nature grants the human.
