Awaken the morning you loud crowing cock.
Pierce the night’s silence ahead of the clock.
     Throw your voice soaring across the pale sky,
     Dispatching night’s gloom with a hearty goodbye.

​

You embrace early morning’s gold halcyon rays
And stretch forth your neck and proclaim this bright day.
     Your clarion call heralds a magnificent dawn,
     As you hail with true gladness the arrival of morn.

Vocabulary:  Halcyon = golden but with  a sense of peace or tranquility (But not too peaceful when the cock crows of course). 

​

Clarion call = a very clear call - ie easily understood.  (Come on people - it's time to wake up).  The Collins dictionary says that halcyon also means peaceful or happy. I think that the cockerel's wake-up call is a happy one, don't you?
