MORNING DEW, by                    
First Line: A magic wand had brushed the earth at dawn
Last Line: And drink from this eternal spring with grace.
Subject(s): Morning


A magic wand had brushed the earth at dawn,
Awakened reeds bedecked with silver spangles
And dropped a million sapphires on my lawn,
An evidence of beauty's mystic angles.
Between four willow limbs securely clung
A crystal-beaded web-like rose point lace
Until the sun arose and warm rays flung
A melting breath that left dim threads in place.
The earth was damp as though April showers
Refreshed anew the earth's repose of night;
With lifted heads the face of mayflowers
Defied departing mist of their delight
To greet the rosy dawn with dewy face
And drink from this eternal spring with grace.
