FAUN by ANGELO PHILIP BERTOCCI

First Line: POUR ME MY BATH OF SUNLIGHT
Last Line: DRENCHED WITH SPRING FRAGRANCE OF TREES.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; GRASS; TREES;
Pour me my bath of sunlight
In the bowl of this emerald dell,
Spice it with flowers dew-bright,
Fresh daisies, the wild blue-bell.

Let soft petals float over my head,
And flower-fuzz tickle my ear,
While I splash in my watery bed
Of warm-flowing atmosphere.

Spread a mat of cool grass for my feet,
While I dance to a capering breeze.
Round my shoulders an air-woven sheet,
Drenched with spring fragrance of trees.
