The day was nearly over,
A day where its heat drowned me.
At last the evening came
And the oven of the day receded.
Into the garden I went,
Book and drink in hand.
I sat in the peace of the evening,
That peace interrupted by the calls.
The beautiful song of blackbird,
And the glorious voice of the robin.
I tried to read my book,
But natures wonder pulled me from it.
So I sat and listened,
And peace came over me,
The peace that I find in nature,
That I find in natures wondrous world.
