A Morning Thought
From The Comic Poems of Thomas Hood
Social Commentaries
No more, no more will I resign
My couch so warm and soft,
To trouble trout with hook and line,
That will not spring aloft.
With larks appointments one may fix
To greet the dawning skies,
But hang the getting up at six,
For fish that will not rise!
