"Morning is the best of all times in the garden. 
The sun is not yet hot. 
Sweet vapors rise from the earth. 
Night dew clings to the soil and makes plants glisten. 
Birds call to one another. 
Bees are already at work."

The morning light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are drifting

It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom.
