Moments of Bliss

See how the light falls
Stripes on the ground
Beneath us the mosses
Muffle all sound
And we run like children
Forgetting our days
As silence and sunshine
Tempts us to play
On the bosom of summer
When tender leaves cling
When grasses grow verdant
And small brown birds sing
See how the light falls
Kind as a kiss
And we thank whoever
For moments like this
