A DAY
Good Morning, world! The day is at the dawn,
Light in the east, and dew upon the lawn,
The earth awake, and all that we possess
Is ours again--the hope, the happiness.
The task is here, the task we laid aside
With heavy hands, by morning glorified.
High up the sky the sun pursues its way,
Re-opening the flowers, New world, good day!
Good evening, world. the day it at an end,
More dear the hearth, and closer now the friend.
Wayfaring birds are winging to the nest,
All living creatures turning home to rest.
Now one by one the gentle stars appear,
The task is over and the quiet here.
Now draw the curtain and turn down the light,
God keep us all. And now, old world, good night.
