So Gentle Is the Morn

So Gentle Is the Morn

So gentle is the morn in spring
   as tender as the rose
whose dewdrop petals long to bring
   their beauty to expose.
The warm sunlight and fresh spring air,
the breeze is blowing in our hair.
      The warm sunlight…
         the warm sunlight 
   invigorates a day so fair.

So gentle is the morn in spring 
   in nature’s outdoor room;
the butterflies are fluttering 
   from bloom to lovely bloom 
to pollinate the flowers need
and spread their beauty with it’s seed.
      To pollinate… 
         to pollinate 
   the budding love that will proceed.

So gentle is the morn in spring
   like coos of mourning dove
while calling for his mate to bring 
   exciting lilts of love.
I long to feel so young again
while strolling in the April rain; 
      I long to feel… 
         I long to feel 
   the tender notes of love’s refrain.
