The trees cast shadows across the deserted scene And a breeze stirred in the cool air which pervaded a benign dominion Beneath vast boughs that arched over an idyll Where fields of emerald green carpeted the realm It ruffled the leaves that fluttered in the pale light of a tranquil eventide And stirred the waters which sparkled upon a placid lake As it exulted in the stillness amid a deserted scape Bathed in the lambency of a sublime dusk ©️D.
