When silken shadows of night misplace
The pastel mists of morning’s grace
And birdsong sweet unto the ear
Turns melodious to fear

When the sullen moonshine’s filtered light
Woodland timbered fuel ignite
And forest creatures run in fright
Awakened, nature’s appetite

When all these truths have come to pass
And scoured the earth like brittle glass
Then man will pause; review the worth
A hand full of coins
A hand full of earth

A handful of coins

When silken shadows of night misplace
The pastel mists of morning’s grace
And birdsong sweet unto the ear
Turns melodious to fear

When the sullen moonshine’s filtered light
Woodland timbered fuel ignite
And forest creatures run in fright
Awakened, nature’s appetite

When all these truths have come to pass
And scoured the earth like brittle glass
Then man will pause; review the worth
A hand full of coins
A hand full of earth

Wow. It reminds me of renaissance-era writing but without the difficult to follow, arcane structure. This is fabulous writing. And I AM a fan on good rhymed poetry. This is an example of what rhymed verse should be. It is not the least bit contrived but moves easily as if the words were spoken by a gentle prince (rather than written).
