Fevered Mind

A poem by Sydney Stone. I do not own the image.

***

Sunrise blush,

On white mountain truss,

Awakened new day,

O’er fields of frosted hay,

A distant cock’s crowing,

Muted by a soft winter sowing,

Of morning’s fresh snow,

Teased by a northern wind’s blow,

Over the tops,

Of hibernating crops,

As you enjoy a warm drink,

Over a dark kitchen sink,

Admiring the sight,

Of the slow banishment of night.
