Bright came the dawn
Tripping across the lawn
Over the lake and hill
And over the window sill
The morning star had gone
That some moments back had shone
The sun’s face, all red and glad
now peeped at the earth like a sly lad
morning came in all its glory
bearing an altogether different story
it was a warm day – a day of love and hope
a day when expectations reached their highest scope.
