Nature
Morning Fancy
From An American Anthology, 1787–1900, ed. Edmund Clarence Stedman (1900)
Nature
O let me die a-singing!
O let me drown in light!
Another day is winging
Out from the nest of night.
The morning-glory's velvet eye
Brims with a jewelled bead.
To-day my soul's a dragon-fly,
The world a swaying reed.
