The same bird sings in my garden as the morning sun its splendour spreads some flowers are in unabashed blossom the old lemon-tree some yellow leaves sheds
a butterfly from nowhere settles on a rose motionless and serene I am writing this poem looking from my room the day's beauty has unfolded with such an unforgettable scene
