Good Morning

Peter Norden

WHY, there’s the morning and get-up-o’clock!

The dream-dewed freshness and the keen delight—

Do you remember? There—those ashes were

Our fire last night; the sun is laughing at them.

Look in the valley where we passed before—

You see—that little winding of the road?

The selfsame, big, important yesterday

That seemed so steep and threatening a hill!

Come, let us bathe and break the fast and start!
