Good Morning

By 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—	5
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!
