BREATH of Morning -- breath of May --
With your zest of yesterday
And crisp, balmy freshness, smite
Our old hearts with Youth's delight.
Tilt the cap of Boyhood -- yea,
Where no "forelock" waves, to-day, --
Back, in breezy, cool excess,
Stroke it with the old caress.
Let us see as we have seen --
Where all paths are dewy-green,
And all human-kind are kin --
Let us be as we have been!
