The Early Morning
The moon on the one hand, the dawn on the other;
The moon is my sister, the dawn is my brother

The moon is my sister, the dawn is my brother
The moon on my left and the dawn on my right-My brother, good morning; my sister, good night

And nobody I knew was about
I'm bound away for ever,
Away somewhere, away for ever
The fields are snowbound no longer;
There are little blue lakes and flags of tenderest green
The snow has been caught up into the sky—So many white clouds—and the blue of the sky is cold
Now the sun walks in the forest,
What blest examples do I find Writ in the Word of
Of children that began to mind Religion in their youth

Was once a child as young as I, And kept His Father's law...
