The sunlight speaks, it’s voice is a bird. It glimmers half-guessed, half-seen, half-heard. Above the flowerbed, over the lawn a flashing dip, and it is gone. The sunlight speaks, it’s voice is a bird. It glimmers half-guessed, half-seen, half-heard. And all it lends to the eye is this – A sunbeam giving the air a kiss.
