[Round us the Morning breaks in beauty, such]
Round us the Morning breaks in beauty, suchAs Morning ever doth sublimely wear!
E'en in these wintery months she still shows fair!
But we scarce think of this—nor could avouch
Whether she smiles or frowns; a thrilling touch
Of deep full feeling wakes our hearts—we spare
No thoughts to outward objects—our sweet care
Is to dwell on kind wishes—and so much
Of retrospection as shall bid us bless
This morn as being, that of thy dear birth—
Ere long, beloved! shall I seek to express
Fond gratulations, breathing cheer and mirth;
But thoughts too full of feeling's deep excess
First seize the Soul—whose wings are chained on Earth!
