Morning Bitter

Lyrics

The meadow's dawny hue Collects awakening colors in shades of blue While sudden clouds of white Above the dazzed haven begin the morning light And heavy with the velvet print of dew-drop's touch The grass leans closely on the ground And trees of black are reaching out to clutch The promise of the early sound While birdsong's sober grace Is arching high the space above the haze As the mist fades I can see the other shore: Shapeless figures met in blue Catch my eyes with hastened movement That interrupts the silent grace Halfway hidden - fairly distant Two people running in wild chase I cannot hear the noise they make They seem to have a fight One of them runs off While the other one falls down No sound of life around Birdsong's hushed in a freeze Shadows on the ground I shudder in a sudden breeze
