Morning's First Light

The darkness yields, the night takes flight,
As dawn ascends with rosy hue,
And fills the world with golden light,
Refreshed and sparkling, bathed in dew.
The birds awake with joyful sound,
The flowers lift their heads to greet,
The morning light that bathes the ground,
A symphony, both pure and sweet.
