Within a woods dark glade, the sun had ventured, <br />And birds warbled with joy, this sight to see. <br />The shadows gradually fled, as it adventured, <br />Between the leaves, a homeland for a destiny. <br /> <br />Wakefulness, had arrived, silence was broken <br />By birdsong amplified from branches tall, <br />And as if the diverse foliages around had woken, <br />Had draped the scene resplendent, before the fall. <br /> <br />What a great variety there was of greens and blues, <br />Reflected by sunbeams, enriching this radiant plot, <br />A beauty to touch the soul, such clear variant hues, <br />Became a tapestry so rich, in this most wondrous spot. <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-radiant-plot/
