Night and Morning

[This verse written by the late Dr. Piper wasread at his funeral service in Medford, Mass..April ii. An obituary of Dr. Piper appears inthe Necrology section this month— ED.]

Waking I hear three voices in the night: The murmur of the wind among the pines, A fountain's ceaseless drip, the whippoorwill Three sights are pleasant to my drowsy eyes:— The noiseless waving of a flag, the moon Among the clouds, trees dark against the sky.

Commingled odors through my window float Of earth and tree and flowers:—was that of

pines? (I drowse) was that of roses?—(and I sleep).

I wake at dawn; the air is vibrant with Bird music;—robin, redstart, oriole, Song sparrow, purple finch and vireos.

In clearer light within the yard below I note the gains; two meadow lily bells, New blossoms on the crimson rambler, close

Beside fresh jacqueminots, calendulas; Still dreaming, poppies nodding clad in gay Attire like fair disheveled revellers.

Against the wall a golden lily cup Would seem to shame the tardier tiger buds Still many weeks from blooming; farther up

Each stalk of larkspur mounts the heavenly blue,

The rambler's only rival on the lawn, Each lovelier with the other at its side.

Beneath my window is a white rose bush Which there has bloomed for nearly fifty years, And undisturbed may bloom for fifty more.

The sunbeams strike the tree tops; far away I hear "O spheral, spheral," long and deep, "O holy, holy," of the hermit thrush.
