A RECIPE FOR A DAY, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography
First Line: Take a little dash of water cold
Last Line: Complete the well-made day.
Subject(s): Day
First Line: Take a little dash of water cold
Last Line: Complete the well-made day.
Subject(s): Day
Take a little dash of water cold,
And a little leaven of prayer,
And a little bit of morning gold
Dissolved in the morning air.
Add to your meal some merriment,
And a thought for kith and kin;
And then, as your prime ingredient,
A plenty of work throw in.
But spice it all with the essence of love
And a little whiff of play;
Let a wise old Book and a glance above
Complete the well-made day.
