Mistress Morning -- well she knows How to play at dominoes With the children blithe and gay Wide awake at break of day. Down she throws her bluest skies, Matched by Mary with her eyes. Next she plays her breezes light, Matched with Lucy's laughter bright. Then she throws her sunshine true, Matched with smiles by merry Lu. Flowers come now, sweet white and red, Matched by Josie's flower-like head. For each charm the morning throws In this game of dominoes, Something sweet the children bring, Matching her in everything. If the game goes thus all day, Who will be the victor, pray? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OLD MEN ON THE COURTHOUSE LAWN, MURRAY, KENTUCKY by JAMES GALVIN MEMORY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON OFFERING by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO HELEN KELLER - HUMANITARIAN, SOCIAL DEMOCRAT, GREAT SOUL by EDWIN MARKHAM THE WISE WOMAN by SARA TEASDALE |
