As the morning is breaking

It seems the long dark night

Is drawn back like a curtain

To flood the day with light.

Grasses dance in the breeze

The wind whispers in the trees

As night winds begin to blow

Here and there are shades of grey,

The sun sinks in an orange glow

Comes the night and close of day.
