<h2>A SUMMER MORNING</h2>
<p>Never was sun so bright before,<br/>
No matin of the lark so sweet,<br/>
No grass so green beneath my feet,<br/>
Nor with such dewdrops jewelled o’er.</p>
<p>I stand with thee outside the door,<br/>
The air not yet is close with heat,<br/>
And far across the yellowing wheat<br/>
The waves are breaking on the shore.</p>
<p>A lovely day! Yet many such,<br/>
Each like to each, this month have passed,<br/>
And none did so supremely
shine.<br/>
One thing they lacked: the perfect touch<br/>
Of thee—and thou art come at last,<br/>
And half this loveliness is
thine.</p>
