"Cheer-up! Cheer-up! " chirps my sparrow,
hopping on my window sill;
She takes the path, straight and narrow,
peering at me through iron grill.
...
The skies are tremulous tonight,
Breeze is timid as it blows;
Maudlin waves sink deep in fright
A conch shell wails because it knows
...
Rapunzel stuck in her tower,
Sang one song for half an hour;
She didn't even know the words,
...
Tonight the skies will burst and blaze
in gilted colours edged with gold;
in myriad hues and flashing rays,
a dazzling showcase uncontrolled.
...
Deep in the shadows of the night,
a candle sheds its gentle glow;
Sharing softly, its halo's light,
Soothing, healing to restore.
...
How nice to wake to sounds of song
that lilt upon the sleepy sea;
That make you feel like you belong
to earth and ocean... naturally!
...
A neon sun, in furnace sky,
Fiercely brilliant, harshly stark;
Blazing whitehot, burning high,
Sweltering sultry, stubbon spark.
...
Rockets streaming in the night sky,
bursting from a single spark;
Laughing fountains reaching high,
fleeing from the dusty dark.
...
On evenings when the breeze is chill,
trees cower 'neath the gloomy skies;
that seem to darken up at will,
Anger in their glowering eyes.
...
Night's silent whispers, sweet and low,
In quiet hushed tones softly sigh;
Beneath the moonlamp's gentle glow,
Breathless breeze, a lullabye.
...
