MORNING SOUNDS, by RUTH LEONARD BUCHE First Line: A sparrow's happy chirping and a dog's persistent bark Last Line: How beautiful to wake each morn to homey sounds like these. Subject(s): Morning; Sound | ||||||||
A sparrow's happy chirping and a dog's persistent bark. The clanging of a street car and the singing of a lark, A church bell's invitation to its early morning throng A horse's noisy footsteps and the milkman's cheery song, The crying of a baby, a factory whistle blowing The clattering of dishes and a rooster's distant crowing. The sounds of children's voices, the wind amid the trees How beautiful to wake each morn to homey sounds like these. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SOUND IS LIKE ANY OTHER by DAVID IGNATOW NATURAL MUSIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 35 by JAMES JOYCE WHAT THE MOTORCYCLE SAID by MONA VAN DUYN THE LIFE OF TOWNS: TOWN OF THE DRAGON VEIN by ANNE CARSON CALIBAN [ON THE ISLAND], FR.
