The sun shone brightly
on the grassy field;
the sweet-smelling air
the flowers did yield.
The rabbits frolicked
and bounded around;
earthworms wondered why
holes are underground.
The fawn flying fast,
its doe stood nearby;
she soon raised her head,
kept watchful her eye.
The butterflies jumped
in, out, and around,
corssing the field in
just one single bound.
The bees were busy,
get nectar they must,
flower to flower
moving pollen dust.
The garter snake slept
basking in the sun;
he would be dreaming
till the day was done.
Hustle and bustle,
industrious souls,
field mice and their seeds,
filling up their holes.

The hawk flies above,
circles round and round;
he thanks the warm breeze,
not making a sound.
It started to cool,
the light faded, too;
a sleepy feeling
the animals grew.
The breezes wre gone,
the hares settled down,
but the worms still asked
why the dirt is brown.
The fawn nuzzled up
to Mother to sleep;
the rest of the night
they made not a peep.
The butterflies gone,
and the bees were still;
each one with nectar
was drunk to the gill.
The garter snake slid
back into his hole,
list'ning to to field mice
with sleep as their goal.
The hawk's final cry
protested the moon,
and he settled down,
to sleep he fell soon.
