SONG: 26, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: In the first light of the morning
Last Line: Because I want him so.
Alternate Author Name(s): Radford, Ernest, Mrs.


IN the first light of the morning,
When the thrush sang loud and clear,
And the black-bird hailed day's dawning,
How I wished my love could hear.

When the sun shone on the sand there,
And the roses bloomed above,
And the blue waves kissed the land there,
How I longed to see my love.

Now the birds good-night are calling,
And the moonbeams come and go,
And my tears are falling, falling,
Because I want him so.
