Mistress Morning -- well she knows How to play at dominoes With the children blithe and gay Wide awake at break of day. Down she throws her bluest skies, Matched by Mary with her eyes. Next she plays her breezes light, Matched with Lucy's laughter bright. Then she throws her sunshine true, Matched with smiles by merry Lu. Flowers come now, sweet white and red, Matched by Josie's flower-like head. For each charm the morning throws In this game of dominoes, Something sweet the children bring, Matching her in everything. If the game goes thus all day, Who will be the victor, pray? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MUJER by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS TO A POET, WHO WOULD HAVE ME PRAISE CERTAIN BAD POETS, IMITATORS ... by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE UNFORGIVEN by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH PARANTHETICAL ADDRESS, BY DR.
