Good morning Quote by Kathryn Lasky

“—Night is Done— Night is done, gone the moon, gone the stars From the skies. Fades the black of the night Comes the morn with rosy light.

““—Night is Done— Night is done, gone the moon, gone the stars From the skies. Fades the black of the night Comes the morn with rosy light. Fold your wings, go to sleep, Rest your gizzards, Safe you’ll be for the day. Glaux is nigh. Far away is First Black, But it shall seep back Over field Over flower In twilight hour. We are home in our tree. We are owls, we are free. As we go, this we know Glaux is nigh.””
