Early walks.
303
I'll give you a piece of advice;
When the dawning is mantling the star,
You'll find that to quietly look from your couch,
Through a window, is better by far.

You'll find that to quietly look from your couch,
Through a window, is better by far.
The breath of the morning brings shivers and chills.
The fields are bespattered with dew,
And the drop that's so bright in the violet's eye,
Can be vastly unpleasant to you.
And if you're a lady, alas!
Your drapery's much in the way,
And a terrible foe to the graces you'll find
In the beautiful herald of day.

I'll give you the proper receipt for a walk:—
Dont stir from your pillow till nine,
Then quietly take, your hot coffee and rolls,
And give the sun leisure to shine.
When the dew is quite off of the grass,
And the woods are just pleasantly warm,
With a book in your hand, or a pencil, perhaps,
You'll own my receipt is a charm.
