Morning Glories at My Window
Language: English
Our morning glories come to say, "Good morning... Here's another day!" By noon they close their petals tight, But with the early morning light They open up like bells of blue Touched lightly with a mist of dew. It is a lovely sight to see The flowers waiting there for me, Saying as they gently sway, "Good morning... Here's another day!"
Confirmed with The Australian Worker, Wednesday, November 30, 1938, page 4, in "The Children's Corner".
