MORNING FANCY, by                    
First Line: O let me die a-singing
Last Line: The world a swaying reed.
Alternate Author Name(s): Mccall, Sidney; Scott, Mary Mcneil


O LET me die a-singing!
O let me drown in light!
Another day is winging
Out from the nest of night.

The morning-glory's velvet eye
Brims with a jewelled bead.
To-day my soul's a dragon-fly,
The world a swaying reed.
