I have heard the mavis singing
Its love-song to the morn;
I've seen the dew-drop clinging
To the rose just newly born.

Morning

More quotes by Charles Jefferys

Come o'er the moonlit sea,
The waves are brightly glowing.

Meek and lowly, pure and holy,
Chief among the "blessed three."

Come, wander with me, for the moonbeams are bright
On river and forest, o'er mountain and lea.

The bud is on the bough again,
The leaf is on the tree.

A word in season spoken
May calm the troubled breast.

I wake up with the news
of bloodshed.
I feel my body,
desperate to know whether
I’m still alive.
