Siegfried Sassoon

Morning-Land

Old English songs, you bring to me
A simple sweetness somewhat kin
To birds that through the mystery
Of earliest morn make tuneful din,
While hamlet steeples sleepily
At cock—crow chime out three and four,
Till maids get up betime and go
With faces like the red sun low
Clattering about the dairy floor.
