Lucy Maud Montgomery - Morning along Shore
Work rating: Low

Hark, oh hark the elfin laughter
  All the little waves along,
As if echoes speeding after
  Mocked a merry merman`s song! 

All the gulls are out, delighting
  In a wild, uncharted quest­
See the first red sunshine smiting
  Silver sheen of wing and breast! 

Ho, the sunrise rainbow-hearted
  Steals athwart the misty brine,
And the sky where clouds have parted
  Is a bowl of amber wine! 

Sweet, its cradle-lilt partaking,
  Dreams that hover o`er the sea,
But the lyric of its waking
  Is a sweeter thing to me! 

Who would drowze in dull devotion
  To his ease when dark is done,
And upon its breast the ocean
  Like a jewel wears the sun? 

"Up, forsake a lazy pillow!" 
  Calls the sea from cleft and cave,
Ho, for antic wind and billow
  When the morn is on the wave!
