Tia Dawn; lovely Dawo! and the sky is all
white.
And the cattle in Tales 'on hill-sides are
lowing,
And the lake lies in Tapor, half morning, half
night,
And the breeze tlirongh the tops of the pine
groves is blowing.
the vineyards are shaking the dew from
their leaves.
And down urthe valley the Tillage roofs shine
And the doves are all rustling their wings in
the eaves.
And the earth and the Heaven are cool,
lovely, divine.
"Tis Morning, rich Morning ! The yagers are
out.
And the rifles are ringing from Talley to hill;
Hut the sun rises broad, and the horn and
the shout
Sink down, till we hear but the rush of the rill;
And, far up the mountain, the roebuck's
brown troop
Are seen, with the nostril spread well to the
wind,
While the eagle above spreads Lis wings for a
ewoop.
And the yagers toil on through the forest be
hind. 'Tis Noon, burning Noon ! and the far Tillage
spire
And the peaks of the mountain, are arrows
of flame.
The air is a fever, the sunbeam a fire.
And the deer, like the hunter, are weary and
tame;
And the yazers by fountain and pine-tree are
spread.
