And the land was full of May.

A golden bird was singing Its melody divine, I found you and I loved you, And all the world was mine. I usually enjoy the melody divine in classical flute solo. Also in bird song, especially in preserved wilderness areas. Anyone who has enjoyed the dawn chorus in appropriate places with New Zealand national parks, or similar places in other countires, will immediately know what this means. 'Far above the bellbird sings, sweet songster your notes are like the mellow chimes of tiny bells. A tui, the parson-bird, takes up the call and sings a solo, complemented by the whispering wind that stirs the leaves.' The above brief quotation from 'Perspective Stand' which was written in 1982, might hopefully aid city bound readers to understand a little of the wonder of this phenomena. 'A Golden Day' by Paul Laurence Dunbar is a romantic poem rich in simplicity.

A lovely, but sad poem of love found & then lost. It's sure one we can all relate to. It has a lovely, natural flow to it too. Thanks for sharing. Spiritsong

'divine' is poor in 'melody divine'. But the poem tugs a little at the heart, for some of us have been there.

A poem of praise on the loved one like the song of a golden bird on a golden day is a day of dream in May indeedT
