THE CALL OF THE MORNING by GEORGE DARLEY

First Line: VALE OF THE WATERFALLS!
Last Line: LILIAN, AWAY!
Subject(s): MORNING;

VALE of the waterfalls!
Glen of the streams!
Wake from your slumbering!
Wake from your dreams!

Wild sings the mountain-lark,
Bird of the air!
Calling the valley-birds
Up to him there!

Sweet ring the mountain-bells
High o'er the dale,
Waking the little bells
Down in the vale.

Fresh breathes the morning-wind,
Bright looks the day, --
Up to the heather hills,
Lilian, away!
