MORNING-GLORIES by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: WE BLOSSOM IN THE BORDER LAND
Last Line: WITH HIM WE WAKE OR SLEEP.

We blossom in the border land
When pilgrim shadows strew
The largess of a liberal hand
In glittering gems of dew.

Too timorous our glances are
The noonday watch to keep:
The sisters of the twilight star,
With him we wake or sleep.
