A simple bit of awe and wonder for your day.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the shining of the spring
\nWhen all the world draws near
\nAnd the dandelions sparkle
\nTheir simple welcome cheer.<\/p>\n

When leaves are now unfurling
\nAnd all the world awakes
\nA single breath of joy
\nIs all the soul can take.<\/p>\n

When the dew shins out like diamonds
\nAnd the light shifts from grey to gold
\nThen look out to the sunrise
\nAnd see what you behold.<\/p>\n

In the brightness of the morning,
\nIn the newness of the spring,
\nWith all the world aborning
\nHear the golden trumpets ring!<\/p>\n
