CLV
Translucent leaves in morning's bloss'ming light,
When cheerful melodies enfold as rays
And golden splashes mingle, welc'ming day's
Arrival, dappled shadows frolic slight
On verdant scenes where greenest foliage bright
Enriches all, illumed in rich displays
'Midst darker fellows, liven the arrays
As dancing faintly in the gleams, delight.
Resplendent in the gloaming's full-blown glow,
And gently rustling softly or quite still,
Their varied outlines 'mongst the rest a show
Serene and breath-taking, while songs e'er spill
In symphonies, their brilliance does bestow
As sunshine charms through them a gilded thrill.
