Early Morn

When I did wake this morn from sleep,
It seemed I heard birds in a dream;
Then I arose to take the air -
The lovely air that made birds scream;
Just as green Hill launched the ship
Of gold, to take its first clear dip.
And it began its journey then,
As I came forth to take the air;
The timid Stars had vanished quite,
The Moon was dying with a stare;
Horses, and kine, and sheep were seen
As still as pictures, in fields green.
It seemed as though I had surprised
And trespassed in a golden world
That should have passed while men still slept!
The joyful birds, the ship of gold,
The horses, kine and sheep did seem
As they would vanish for a dream.
