The Early Morning
The moon on the one hand, the dawn on the other:
The moon is my sister, the dawn is my brother.
The moon on my left and the dawn on my right.
My brother, good morning: my sister, good night.
- Hilaire Belloc
From The Home Book of Verse for Young Foks, Holt, Rinehart, and Winston
Hilaire Belloc is one of the writers I want to read.
ReplyDeleteThough if his writings are heavily theological it will put me to sleep.
I am too simple to understand theologians:).
Beautiful Poem..Franciscan in spirit?
Peace, JOY and HOPE to you:)

I'm not too proud to say, I can't understand deep writers like him either ;-)
ReplyDeleteFranciscan? I don't know. I found it in a children's poetry book that a school discarded.
