1197 Morning

WILL there really be a morning?

Is there such a thing as day?

Could I see it from the mountains

If I were as tall as they?

Has it feet like water lilies?

Has it feathers like a bird?

Is it brought from famous countries

Of which I ’ve never heard?

Oh some scholar, oh some sailor,

Oh some wise man from the skies,

Please to tell a little pilgrim

Where the place called morning lies.
