MORNING by ALEXANDER LOUIS FRASER

First Line: THE DAY HATH RISEN FROM HER SLEEP
Last Line: FOR THAT BENIGNANT SMILE FILLS EVERY ONE WITH CHEER!
Subject(s): GREETINGS; MORNING; WAKING;
The Day hath risen from her sleep,
Refreshed by peaceful rest;
Adown the fields she now doth sweep,
In Nature's beauty dressed;
And lo, each waiting child of hers is much caressed.

From man and child, from beast and bird,
Who hid themselves for fear,
The warmest greetings now are heard,
As she to each draws near;
For that benignant smile fills every one with cheer!
