Standard (EADGBE)

Shimmers splendent merge, laden tendrils waver

Descending drops of water disperse in lucid layer

A smile spread over rainbow sky

Refracted in the raindrops crying eye

They fall away to where the sun hangs brightly

Trickling down where on the dews are shown

In the play of moments moving lightly

On the grounds of morning's blooming down

Every hour of every day, every leaf on every tree

Each expression borne of every thought

A sudden joy swarmed to a heart

with open arms reaching out

Through time to set a place for the unthought

On that day the welcome is inviting

With chime, ceremony and good cheer

In the play of moments moving lightly

To the sounds of morning breaking clear

Here the naked child among the others 'neath the sun

Some thrust forward like snakes, some stood upwise and erect

Some stiffened, taut, virginal and prim

Some bent dead in curves graceful and thin

They grow away to where the sun hangs brightly

Trickling down where on the dews are seen

In the play of moments moving lightly

On the bounds of Morning's Waking Dream
