Morning Has Broken

Lyricist Eleanor Farjeon










Morning has broken like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven

Like the first dewfall on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden

Sprung in completeness where His feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Born of the one light, Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning

God's recreation of the new day

Morning is the best time of the day not just to be in the proximity of greenery but on the very lap of nature. It’s soothing to walk barefoot on the lawn drenched with winter dew. It’s lovely to see flowers and leaves fluttering in dawn’s soft breeze. How refreshing it is to inhale the fragrance of the first flower of the morning and to see night flowers on the carpet of grass!

Come spring and bees, butterflies and birds will come to suck nectar from the colourful flowers! During the monsoon, it soothes your heart to see raindrops on various shades of chlorophyll from near.

We all know that being in a garden when the day is at its infancy is beneficial for all age groups for both mental and physical health. However, in a certain housing society, you cannot set your foot in the garden before eight in the morning. The sun is high up in the sky by then.

Is a society of a building complex allowed to ban its inhabitants from entering their garden in the wee hours of the morning? This residency doesn’t have gardens within walking distance and much of the natural vegetation outside the gate has been engulfed by the brick and mortar world. It’s unsafe to step out before sunrise for all genders.

What are your thoughts about this? Does your society have these restrictions?   

An extract:

'What are you doing here?' he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away.

'My own garden is my own garden,' said the Giant; 'any one can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself.' So he built a high wall all round it, and put up a notice-board.

 

TRESPASSERS
WILL BE
PROSECUTED

He was a very selfish Giant.

  Octopus 1.     You may often have heard someone proudly saying that he has blue blood running through his veins. 2.     This figuratively means that he is the descendant of a royal dynasty. 3.     Did you know that a creature living in the deep blue ocean really has blue-coloured blood? 4.     We are talking about the mollusc, the eight-legged octopus here. 5.     Octopuses are natural marine architects which build homes for themselves with rocks. 6.     With their powerful arms, they can easily shift rocks from one venue to another. 7.     Their rock den abodes have a stone door entrance which the octopus can lock after it safely enters its sweet home. 8.     Even after they are securely at home, they are better off without visitors. 9.     They disperse shells and rocks to carefully conceal themselves within their dens. 10.                        After catching prey which comprises worms, crustaceans, molluscs, prawns and fish they retire to their dens to savour

  Old English 1500 years ago, in the 5 th century CE, a Germanic tribe, the Angles, traversed the North Sea to invade Britain. The earliest of these attacks was in 449 CE. Later, the Saxons and Jutes did the same. These tribes lived in what we now know as northern Germany and Denmark. The Germanic dialects of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes were the languages that gave birth to a new language in Britain, the English language. This language is called Old English or Anglo-Saxon. The erstwhile home of the Angles was called ‘ Englaland’. Their language was known as ‘Englisc’. The words ‘England’ and ‘English’ were formed from these old words. These invading tribes fought with the Celtic inhabitants of the country. Most of them were slaughtered or enslaved. Some were fortunate to have fled to the safety of Wales, Ireland and Scotland. In 2021, a speaker of English may find it almost impossible to comprehend Old English. Around 50% of the predominantly used words in contemporary English posses

  Man consumes pesticide As I write this, a young man is fighting for his life. He is an alcoholic and is always in and out of jail. This morning he put pesticide in his spirit and drank it. His body is turning cold and he can hardly breathe. He is in a queue for admission to the hospital for the poor where detailed paperwork is going on as protocols dictate that a police case must be registered before further proceeding. These rules delay saving those who attempt suicide. We aren’t sure if this was accidental or deliberate mixing. The treatment of patients who try to take their lives is shocking in supposedly good private hospitals as well. In one of these places, the person who attempted it was slapped several times by the doctor and as he felt that an evil person like this deserves mistreatment, ward boys were ordered to strip her naked to change her into a gown as there was no nurse at the emergency room. In the case of domestic violence when a person tries to kill oneself, t
