Slowly darkness fades away,
Gentle morning takes its place.
Sunlight streams between the trees
Sparkling on the river’s face.

Slowly darkness fades away,
Sweet songs from birds aloft
Float gently to the river’s edge,
So golden and so soft.

Slowly darkness fades away,
Soon the villagers awake,
And lifting songs of praise,
Begin another day.

Lauren Pageau, age 11
