"Summer Morning"

Another day salute our eyes,
As smiling and as fair as she,
And make as many promises;

The tale believe,
They're sisters all,
And all deceive.

Morn,
Wak'd by the circling hours, with rosy hand
Unbarr'd the gates of light.

as the not quite imaginable first.

To its feet, like a guest
Who's sat all night
Keeping time to lively music.

Morning has broken,
Like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken
Like the first bird.

Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing
Fresh from the Word!

JAMES THOMSON
"Summer", The Seasons
In aiming at the life of blessedness, one of the simplest beginnings to be considered, and rightly made, is that which we all make every day--namely, the beginning of each day's life. There is a sense in which every day may be regarded as the beginning of a new life, in which one can think, act, and live newly, and in a wiser and better spirit. The right beginning of the day will be followed by cheerfulness permeating the household with a sunny influence, and the tasks and duties of the day will be undertaken in a strong and confident spirit, and the whole day will be well lived.
JAMES ALLEN
Morning and Evening Thoughts
Each morning is a fresh beginning. We are, as it were, just beginning life. We have it entirely in our own hands. And when the morning with its fresh beginning comes, all yesterdays should be yesterdays, with which we have nothing to do. Sufficient is it to know that the way we lived our yesterday has determined for us our today.
RALPH WALDO TRINE
