  1. A May Morning

    Share Share Post
    It is very nice to be out on a May morning, it is the most beautiful morning of the year. I was out very early on a morning in May. The sun was not up. There was not a stir in the air. The cattle were lying down very quietly. The birds had not started to sing. The little lambs had not wakened up. After a little while I noticed the east getting red. It got redder and redder and at last the sun was up. The cattle started to feed on the grass. The sheep went out eating.
