MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT, by                    
First Line: Hold your ear to the ground - you will scarcely believe
Last Line: And weave mad dreams around your head!
Subject(s): April; Morning


Hold your ear to the ground -- you will scarcely believe
The commotion an April morning makes;
Such stirrings and stretchings, such mighty yawns
When a yellow crocus wakes.

At noon the trees are garlanded with song;
A gold bee sleeps in the heart of a rose;
The wheat is saffron, the thistle brown,
And across dun hills a salt wind blows.

At night beware that sorceress, the moon,
Lest she bewitch you in your bed;
She'll lay slim fingers on your brow
And weave mad dreams around your head!
