The Early Morning Poem by Hilaire Belloc

The Early Morning

Rating: 3.3


The moon on the one hand, the dawn on the other:
The moon is my sister, the dawn is my brother.
The moon on my left and the dawn on my right.
My brother, good morning: my sister, good night.

This here for me, is 'poetic economy' packaged in material so light weight in sophistication yet holding in vast enormity some of our most universal treasures...

The poem reflects the Georgian period's emphasis on nature and the everyday, as well as its exploration of the relationship between man and the natural world. The speaker's personification of the moon and dawn suggests a sense of kinship with the natural elements.
