MORNING STROLLS, by LILLIAN HINTON First Line: I strolled over the lawn at sunrise Last Line: She had visited rome, she said. Subject(s): Morning | ||||||||
I strolled over the lawn at sunrise, While the blades were bathed in dew, The flowers smiled as I passed their way, "Good-morning, my dear, to you." A tiny wren sang from a swaying limb, "I'm happy as I can be, My roof doesn't leak, my family is well And from rent and debt I'm free." An industrious bee stopped on his way, To inspect a tiny flower; He paused not long but hurried on To find a more bounteous bower. I returned to the house,my friend slumbered While the morning hours fled, In quiet reposebehind oaken doors, She had visited Rome, she said. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MORNING SONG by KARLE WILSON BAKER THE WHARF ON THAMES-SIDE: WINTER DAWN by LAURENCE BINYON POEM BEFORE BREAKFAST by TED KOOSER I'VE BEEN ASLEEP by PHILIP LEVINE SPRNG DAY: BREAKFAST TABLE by AMY LOWELL THE WAYSIDE STATION by EDWIN MUIR |
