Mornings On The Crick



Seems to me I’ve never seen
‘Arly mornin’s as serene,
Full of feelin’ an’ repose
When the soul jet overflows,
Heart at rest an’ pulses quick,
As these mornin’s on the Crick.

Seems as if the world had jest
Woke up from a peaceful rest,
With a smile upon its face,
Lovin’ all the human race;
Sayin’ “welcome, son of mine,
All these quiet joys are thine.”

Seems as if I can’t go round
With my feet upon the ground;
Feels so plagney good that I
Seem betwixt the earth an’ sky,
Up in natur’s choicest ways
Walkin’ to the tune she palys.

Stand there with a broadened grin
Jest a drinkin’ of it in,
When I hear a voice intrude –
“Cyrus, fetch me in that wood!”
Comin’ as it does so quick,
Sp’iles my mornin’s on the Crick.
