A MORNING WALK, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: All hail! My brave, bright world of green and gold
Last Line: A kingly day, and kingly must I live.
Subject(s): Morning


All hail! my brave, bright world of green and gold,
My morning, smiling from the kiss of night!
Your other lover greets you. Left and right
The air's a-twitter in the sunshine bold,
The air is praying in the shadowy wold.
Sole lord am I of all this realm of sight,
These swinging meadow sweeps, this proud delight
Of ranking hills, these clouds just out of fold.
Stoutly the sturdy road beneath my feet
Rings me a morning welcome. Rise, my soul,
The benediction of the sky to meet.
Sound, color, fragrance, freshness -- mine the whole;
Mine to receive, and haply mine to give:
A kingly day, and kingly must I live.
