A Summer Morning

Topics: classic

Never was sun so bright before,          No matin of the lark so sweet,          No grass so green beneath my feet,     Nor with such dewdrops jewelled o'er.     I stand with thee outside the door,          The air not yet is close with heat,          And far across the yellowing wheat     The waves are breaking on the shore.     A lovely day!    Yet many such,          Each like to each, this month have passed,                 And none did so supremely shine.     One thing they lacked: the perfect touch          Of thee--and thou art come at last,                 And half this loveliness is thine.
