The morn was fair, the skies were clear,
No breath came o'er the sea.
--
The Rose of Allandale, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).Charles Jeffreys

An island-farm — broad seas of corn
Stirred by the wandering breath of morn —
The happy spot where I was born.Lewis Carroll
An island-farm — broad seas of corn
Stirred by the wandering breath of morn —
The happy spot where I was born.Charles (Lewis Carroll) Dodgson
I remember, I remember
The house where I was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon
Nor brought too long a day;
But now, I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away.Thomas Hood
I may not enter the garden,
Though I know the road thereto;
And morn by morn to the gateway
I see the children go.Francis Turner Palgrave
Imageries of dreams reveal a gracious age:
Black armour, falling lace, and altar lights at morn.
The courtesy of saints, their gentleness and scorn,
Lights on an earth more fair, than shone from Plato's page:
The courtesy of knights, fair calm and sacred rage:
The courtesy of love, sorrow for love's sake borne.
Vanished, those high conceits! Desolate and forlorn,
We hunger against hope for the lost heritage.Lionel Johnson
