Early Rising.


Are my flowers awake,
    That so sweet were sleeping?
See, they lift their heads,
    Dewy tear-drops weeping.

Has the bee come forth?
    At her work she's singing,
To her busy hive
    Honied treasures bringing.

Is the linnet up?
    Hark! his song he raises;
Let me join him too,
    With my morning praises.




The Garden.


Come, dear little friend,
    To the garden we'll go,
