I sleep between snowdrops
And bathe myself in morning dew
I clothe myself with hyacinth
And dance beneath a sky so blue.
I delight in a robin’s song
While in dainty Daffodil’s shade
I gather Cherry Blossoms in my breast
Before their colors begin to fade.
I flit from flower to flower
On the soft wings of a butterfly,
And sail away to Everland
on Dandelion’s silken lullaby.

This is a delightful poem, with lines worthy of Puck from A Midsummer Nightโs Dream.
What a dreamy and gentle poem, taking us to a calm place in the morning.
