Gladly shall I greet the morning
At the rising of the sun
All the land so bright illumined –
Hail another day begun
Hearken to the sweet birds singing
Songs all hearts to thus delight
Every soul to full awaken
Bidding their farewell to night
Fresh the dew upon the branches
Chilled the early scented air
Night’s dim shadows softly fading –
Golden ribbons everywhere
Shimm’ring sunbeams fill the arbours
Spreading light as angels’ wings
Spirits dance to greet the dawning –
Joy and hope the new day brings
Soft notes turning to crescendo
Dawn is like a symphony
As the light grows ever stronger –
Nature in full harmony
Yet another sunrise beckons
Waking all from slumber deep
Open wide the shuttered windows –
As the daybreak ends your sleep
