Nature

Morning

by Philip Henry Savage 1868–1899

From An American Anthology, 1787–1900, ed. Edmund Clarence Stedman (1900)

Nature

Not least, 'tis ever my delight
To drink the early morning light;
To take the air upon my tongue
And taste it while the day is young.
So let my solace be the breath
Of morning, when I move to death.
