MORNING FANCY by MARY MCNEIL SCOTT FENOLLOSA

First Line: O LET ME DIE A-SINGING
Last Line: THE WORLD A SWAYING REED.

O LET me die a-singing!
O let me drown in light!
Another day is winging
Out from the nest of night.

The morning-glory's velvet eye
Brims with a jewelled bead.
To-day my soul's a dragon-fly,
The world a swaying reed.
