A Poem for Summer
Matins
Good morning poolside choir, greet the sun!
A red cardinal and your poor claire wife,
Pert wrens, with clean white breasts,
And blackbirds, always more than one,
Calling birds that answer all the rest.
They love the morning, too,
The greenness and the dew.
Rites they perform and few
Take the time and solitude to find
That the front row is not taken,
With stereophonics and a view.
Opera of love, and of life,
And the world's sweet sorrows
That can spin sunlight into gold
Making my worries patient for tomorrow,
Singing, lighthearted before the day is old,
Songs of memories and morningtime.
