Living
Morning
From The Home Book of Verse, ed. Burton Egbert Stevenson (1918)
Living
The lark is up to meet the sun,
The bee is on the wing,
The ant her labor has begun,
The woods with music ring.
Shall birds and bees and ants be wise,
While I my moments waste?
Oh, let me with the morning rise,
And to my duties haste.
