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 repose—behind oaken doors,
She had visited Rome, she said.
