First Line: Up with the sun, the breeze arose
Last Line: She gallops by the fields along.
Alternate Author Name(s): Stevenson, Robert Lewis Balfour
Subject(s): Morning; Wind


UP with the sun, the breeze arose
Across the talking corn she goes,
And smooth she rustles far and wide
Through all the voiceful countryside.

Through all the land her tale she tells;
She spins, she tosses, she compels
The kites, the clouds, the windmill sails,
And all the trees in all the dales.

God calls us, and the day prepares
With nimble, gay, and gracious airs:
And from Penzance to Maidenhead
The roads last night, He watered.

God calls us from inglorious ease,
Forth and to travel with the breeze
While, swift and singing, smooth and strong.
She gallops by the fields along.
