HE is the morning's poet --
The bard of mount and moor,
The minstrel fine of dewy shine,
The dawning's troubadour:
The brother of the bluebird,
'Mid blossoms, throng on throng,
Whose singing calls, o'er orchard walls,
Seem glitterings of song.
He meets, with brow uncovered,
The sunrise through the mist,
With raptured eyes that range the skies
And seas of amethyst:
The brambled rose clings to him;
The breezy wood receives
Him as the guest she loves the best
And laughs through all her leaves:
Pan and his nymphs and dryads
They hear, in breathless pause,
This earth-born wight lilt his delight,
And envy him because . . .
He is the morning's poet --
The bard of mount and moor,
The minstrel fine of dewy shine,
The dawning's troubadour.
