SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 36 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: THE SUN IS LORD OF A MANOR FAIR
Last Line: AND A ROSY HEAD BY MINE.
Subject(s): TOGETHERNESS;

The sun is lord of a manor fair,
And the earth his garden old,
Whose dewy beds where he walks at morn
Flower by flower unfold.
When he goes at night and leaves the stars
Lit in the trees to shine,
Blossom by blossom the flowerheads sleep --
And a rosy head by mine.
