on a cool morning

on a cool morning we may see the dew

settled on grass as butterflies flit by

in mild september still the world is new


 

seasons must change and time will have her due

others will have their honest reasons why

on a cool morning we may see the dew


 

through the back window this calm sunday view

of houses road and the late summer sky

in mild september still the world is new


 

when we are happy and our pains are few

the task today is to rejoice not cry

on a cool morning we may see the dew


 

before it burns off while the sky's still blue

this moment fits so neatly in the eye

in mild september still the world is new


 

we taste once more the sweetness of the brew

knowing the truths that life may yet supply

on a cool morning we may see the dew

in mild september still the world is new
