Waiting for the darkness Just before the dawn Faint light peeks through The overnight curtain Silhouette of the night Takes form At the touch of crimson rays Magic unfolds on the canvas Ether rejoices with a glow As night metamorphoses To a bright new dawn Sun, a sparkling solitaire On the most precious ring Ready to slip onto the fingers Of the blushing bride The wait is over For the day has come To spread happiness galore A crowning glory With awe, the world watches I applaud at the spectacle Of the most gorgeous day Brings new hope Sprinkled with sweet dew Itβs a shimmering sight
