“earthy green tones”

In the hush of dawn, when the dew is shown  
On moss-soft ground and old grey stone,  
Earthy green tones awaken the day,  
With olive and sage in shadow and spray.  

The fern’s uncoiling, bright and new,  
Beneath a sky of cloudless blue;  
Tender leaves and velvet vine  
Twist in a languid, twilit line.  

In forest groves where silence grows,  
Emerald dreams in dappled rows,  
A tapestry of artless hue  
In every grove the sunlight sees through.  

There’s a whisper of mint on a shaded lane,  
Beneath a canopy, dark with rain;  
Jade-green secrets in the woodland air  
Mingle with cedar and pine-tree prayer.  

From the olive field, rugged and old,  
To meadows brushed with velvet gold,  
Earthy green is the memory’s gleam,  
A living thread in nature’s seam.  

So let these colors calm your eyes—  
Cedars, willows, lichen, dyes—  
A quiet, restful, mossy shrine  
Where earth and heart in green entwine.
