<h2> A GREETING </h2>
<p>Good morning, Life—and all<br/>
Things glad and beautiful.<br/>
My pockets nothing hold,<br/>
But he that owns the gold,<br/>
The Sun, is my great friend—<br/>
His spending has no end.<br/>
<br/>
Hail to the morning sky,<br/>
Which bright clouds measure high;<br/>
Hail to you birds whose throats<br/>
Would number leaves by notes;<br/>
Hail to you shady bowers,<br/>
And you green fields of flowers.<br/>
<br/>
Hail to you women fair,<br/>
That make a show so rare<br/>
In cloth as white as milk—<br/>
Be't calico or silk:<br/>
Good morning, Life—and all<br/>
Things glad and beautiful.<br/></p>
<p><br/><br/></p>
