One Summer Dawn
Thousands of stars from a sunset sky, Bits of a rainbow gayCut into charming, fantastic shapes By an Elf and a naughty FayTumbling down through the soft spring dusk, They came to the carth one day. The old earth gathered them close-so closeTo the warmth of her bare brown breast, The golden sun shone on the stranger stars, And the soft breeze gently pressed Kisses upon each wondrous form, And crooned. of the distant West. So the earth and the stars slept on in peace, Through the hush ofthe midnight hours, And the soft rain fell on the rainbow guests With all its magic powers-Unitl-with the flush of a summer dawnWe found that the carth had flowers.
