A Summer's Morning

I woke upon a summer’s morning

Made all new with expecting

Even the birds could sense it

Oh everything around me knew!

I leaned upon a window’s warming

Held all through with hoping

Even the glass could feel it

Oh everything around me knew!

I dressed in haste a child’s clothing

Blessed all bright with wanting  

Even my garb could sense it

Oh everything around me knew!

I rushed outside a young one’s running

Filled all through with singing

Even my feet could feel it

Oh everything around me knew!    

I danced in glee a sunbeam’s dreaming

Risen all bright with glimpsing

Even the grass could sense it                                   

Oh everything around me knew – 

A love hold’s gleaning!
