Bring in the cool of forest breath
the sweetness of nights perfumed air
its fresh bright glittering intensity
permeates the mind
the body feels a calm
a quiet peacefulness  
that lasts until the depth of black 
turns out the light 

only stars are witnesses 
as they so constant send their flashes far
while we revolve to see again
our life giving star the sun
morning steps out new 
and in the dew her feet are washed 
as beams of heat touch tops of hills and woods
to slowly reveal our world its evergreen coat
and all becomes awake
