The Gardener's Morning



The robin's song at daybreak Is a clarion call to me. Get up and get out in the garden, For the morning hours flee.
I cannot resist the summons, What earnest gardener could? For the golden hours of morning Get into the gardener's blood.

The magic spell is upon me, I'm glad that I did not wait; For life's at its best in the morning, As you pass through the garden gate.
- Howard Dolf
