An to the MORNIN G.
By Mr . C - ■ ■■-•
SWEETEST of bleflings, heavenly light*
At thy approach my forig ihall wake,
Whilst all the gloomy feenes of night*
To distant realms their exit make.
Thy fwift career oh glowing wheels,
Treads down the wade of thorny dreams;
And chains which giddy fancy feels,
Unbind with thy celedial beams.
Hail Mistress of the smiling World,
Who laugh’d nofturnal glooms away,
And guid’d time’s beauteous chariot, whirl’d
By the bright Miniller of Day.
The early orient bluih, thy birth',
In robes of brightness does display,
And swells th’iliumin’d world with mirth,
And rival darkness drives away.
Then thy thrill herald, lovely morn,
The sprightly lark is heard to ting,
Tunes fofted notes his song t’adorn,
And bids the woods with mutic ring.
How sweet to rife at early dawn.
And breathe the fragrance of the air ;
Whild ranging o’er the verdant lawn,
Deep bluthing health reigns midrefs there.
Let others lie with sloth opprelT’d,
And Morpheus all his poppies drain*
Far other joys thall cheer my bread,
*Tis mine to tread the dewy plain.
