Morning has broken |
Like the first morning, |
Blackbird has spoken |
Like the first bird. |
Praise for the singing! |
Praise for the morning! |
Praise for them, springing |
Fresh from the Word! |
Sweet the rain's new fall |
Sunlit from heaven. |
Like the first dewfall |
On the first grass. |
Praise for the sweetness |
Of the wet garden, |
Sprung in completeness |
Where his feet pass. |
Mine is the sunlight! |
Mine is the morning |
Born of the one light |
Eden saw play! |
Praise with elation, |
Praise every morning! |
God's re-creation |
Of the new day! |
Eleanor Farjeon (1881-1935) |
