The meadow sat empty except for the grass

And lovely wild flowers watching time pass

There were black birds down in the corner thicket

With lovely red marks on their fluttering flippits

Butterflies were present in an array of color

Dancing about while laughing with each other

Swallows were dashing about and through

Racing and spinning enjoying the view

The sky was shared by the sun and the moon

Both looking happy a bit before noon

Coyote came through on important errands

Smiled and vanished into the dark barrens

Rabbits resumed play as soon as he parted

Little bunny foo ran into a log and it smarted

Wood chuck ate grasses while watching it all

Dreaming of munching more before fall

Deer lay peacefully watching the dance

Young fawn bounced like he had itchy pants

Oh it was a beautiful day in the meadow

No house nearby, not even a fellow
