Description
I woke up late today; my alarm didn't ring
The sun had long been up, the birds no longer sing
The night's chill was gone along with its breeze
The leaves are bright and green, no longer dripping dew
The grass already yellowed, drying in the sun
The pond's lapping has silenced, drowned out by the cars
The children no longer laughing, school had long begun
No delicious smells drifting, no breakfast being served
And everything is quiet
There is no one at home
I woke up late today; my alarm didn't ring
And the shining clouds of dawn
Have long since gone
