‘Light from the dawning of day’

Light from the dawning of day 
cast a wash of pale gold 
Across the scene 

Its rays of whitest hue 
filtered through the mists 
a’float in the early morn 
Where shadows of night 
lingered low over the realm awhile 

Reluctant their leave for to bid 
of this serene idyll 

As they wafted ethereal 
over the placid waters 
pervading the lake a’shimmer in palest blue

Like spectres unearthly 
from another dominion entire 
Drinking from the cup of plenty 
gracing this silent hour
