He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise.
--William Blake, "Eternity"
The lyrical wisdom of poets throughout the ages--John Keats, Emily Dickinson, Rainer Maria Rilke, William Wordsworth, Philip Larkin, Christina Rossetti, Issa, Sappho, Sylvia Plath, Pablo Neruda, Billy Collins, and many more--fills this inspired collection of poetry for parents. Each entry in Morning Song welcomes new life in its own way, with joy or poignancy, soulfulness or whimsy. What a beautiful way to celebrate and revel in the miracle that is the birth of a child!
