Light kissed the buds of mallow
And welcomed an autumn bloom;
The cups that\'d lain so shallow
Sprung forth and blushed anew.
It meandered as flowing water
Over the peaks one by one -
Spilling into a tankard
And joining more in tandem.
Every sparkle on the mounds
That captured my curious eye
Was one of some polished diamonds
For me to gaze at and sigh.
Delicately, artfully -
The Sun reposed his diadem -
Shifting over the glory
And then was staid again.
