Romantic idyll set to music, inspired by the 'dawn chorus'

at Coldicote Heath, near Moreton-in-the-Marsh.

 

DAWN and DUSK

 

When golden sunbeams come

   with shafts of fire,

To chase the pearly dewdrops

   from the ground,

Nature awakes and from one

Grand Massed Choir

Creation's to praise to Heav'n

Floats round and round.

 

When dusk creeps through the

Vale and o'er the hill,

And stars shine out of skies

That once were blue,

Comes silent night,

With thanks my heart to fill,

For God's own gift to me

Of Love and You.
