MORNING.

Morn again with golden pencil
Tints the curtains of the East.
And again in robes of tinsel
Standeth at her holy chancel,
Making ready for the feast
Gently blushing.,
Gently flushing
Like a bride before the priest
Oh, what holy thoughts come DER us,
As we drink the mornings balm
As we view the fields before Us,
As we join the pleasant chorus
OF the tine morning holy psalm:
As we wander,
As we ponder
IN the mornings blessed calm.
thoughts of other, happier hours.
Coue to Us with memories rife
And again we seek the bowers
Where we used to gather flowers,
IN the morning march Of life,
Memories greet Us,
Pleasures meet US.
Yet unstained by care or strife.
Oh. how much OF life Is wasted
In this so called world ufLliSs
How much pleasure-grain is blasted
How much happiness unta>ted-
How much pleasure do we miss
Just by keeping
Dull eyes sleeping
Such holy morn as this
Happy happy blessed morning
Mag ny soul return the view
Ere the evening lamps are burning,
May the holy picture waning.
Teach me to begin anew!
Guide me cheerful,
Make me pryerful
Tilllle's pilgrim day IS through,
