by Alfred Edward Housman (1859 - 1936)
In the morning, in the morning
Language: English
In the morning, in the morning, In the happy field of hay, Oh they looked at one another By the light of day. In the blue and silver morning On the haycock as they lay, Oh they looked at one another And they looked away.
