S. T. Coleridge.

MORNING.

Wish’d morning’s come; and now upon the plains

And distant mountains, where they feed their flocks,

The happy shepherds leave their homely huts,

And with their pipes proclaim the new-born day!

The lusty swain comes with his well-fill’d stoup

Of healthful viands, which, when hunger calls,
