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.
