Show MISSING THE MORNING I I By DOUGLAS MALLOCH -- Wlll'.N you brojtfiial at six and you lubor at seven. Then you know about eurtb and you learn about heaven. I nave uiel ev'ry star, and the sun Is my neighbor; One has silvered my path, one has glided my labor. For what know you of ulr, If you never have tukrn Just a breath of the dawn, when the . grasses awaken? Or 'wliut. know you ot skies. If you never have seen them With their blues and their reds, and j their purples between Ihein? Now we're staying up late, and we're I getting up later, And we're mlsglng the morn, and a thousand things greater Than your poor little toys and our cheap little pleasures, And' nre cheating the soul of the mnsn ! of lis treasures. 1 have walked to my work when the dew was a-gllsteii, I have heard a bird Ring, and have ; winched a world listen. And whatever his wealth, and what I titles adorning, llow I pity the man who Is missing ' the morning 1 1 l(cl. 13. DouglM Uallocll I |
