[Pg 78] <hr style="width: 65%;" /> <h2>MORNING TIME.</h2> <div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> I. </div> <div class="stanza"> Awake, my pet! What! slumbering yet, When the day's so warm and bright? The flowers that wept Before they slept O'er the darkness of yesternight, Have listened long To the lark's wild song, And awoke with the morning light. </div> <div class="stanza"> II. </div> <div class="stanza"> Again and again Through the window-pane The jasmine flowers kept peeping, And in at the door, And along the floor, The sunny rays came creeping, So I opened wide The sash, and tried To tell them you were sleeping. [Pg 79]</div> <div class="stanza"> III. </div> <div class="stanza"> Awake, my dear, The winter drear Has fled with all things dreary, But quickly by The spring will fly, And soon the birds will weary.— Awake while yet The dew is wet And day is young, my deary. </div> </div> <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
