-Early Morning In The Mountains Of Tennessee-
“Climb the mountains, and get their good tidings;
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
While cares will drop off, like autumn leaves.”
John Muir
Music: Tennessee River,
By Alabama
I awoke before first light
To a misty mountain morn
The river was still sleeping
As a new day was being born
I wandered over to the river
Two of my dogs, at my side
And we sat on that riverbank
Watching a glorious day arrive
The mist, was cavorting about the trees
The autumn colors, were hangin around
This old river, began singing and sighing
Here, some wildwood smiles were found
I need to visit wild places like this
When our hectic world gets too much
Here, in this new misty mountain mornin
Neither man nor nature, were in a big rush
We watched the new morning mist, floating on high
Soon, we heard the birds, singin their morning songs
Eventually, the sunlight began peeking, all around us
This tranquil misty mountain morn, erased the wrongs
I awoke before first light,
To a misty mountain morn;
The river was still sleeping,
As a new day was being born.
