Hibiscus
Hibiscus glowing in the early light
Petals bright against the sky
Singing a silent song of splendor
Praising Heaven's eye
A songbird joins in joyful chorus
Sweet melodies from a gentle dove
Her spirits rise with day's enchantment
And her heart is filled with Love
But the sun soon yields to darkness
Cold stars fill the empty sky
Now alone, the winsome flower
Bows her head to die
