FROM MORNING TO MORNING!

FROM MORNING TO MORNING!

Lovingly the morning glowsOn the lily and the rose;So the heart of God o’erflows!Quietly the sky looks downOn the turmoil of the town,—Face divine, without a frown.Peacefully, when toil is o’er,Twilight comes to sea and shore,—Pledge of rest for evermore.Tenderly the moonbeams fallOn the hovel and the hall;—So God’s pity shelters all.Soft the light on lea and lawn,Till the faithful stars are gone,—Then—the rapture of the dawn!
