Chicago--Sleeping In
Chicago—Sleeping In
a tremulous yawn to rouse her trees,
the city awakens;
hush of night wanly surrenders
to serenades ... a lark's swelling chatter;
—weather predicting
legions of Early Risers
greet the morning sober with dreams of sleep;
—schedules keeping, (those poor souls)
school-children, ambling in their sweet daze,
hopeful of Nature's favor ask;
does it snow? does it rain?
the sounds of progress invade
my urban hamlet and hollow,
hasten a pulse, low and increasing
from the window
I consider your slumber, your bliss;
passing contented, the weightless moments
in this idle break of day
silent,
I draw the silken veil
against morning's widening embrace,
the lark still sings, I ask;
does it snow? does it rain?
