About this book
The New Morning is a book of poems by Alfred Noyes. A dedication to the memory of Sir Cecil Spring-Rice describes him as steadfast as any soldier of the line, who served his England with the imminent death poised at his heart. A poem asks about this nation of nations whose heart is awaking, says that the Republic dawns, the laughing, gigantic Europe, united, beyond the Atlantic, and names it America, speaking one tongue.
A poem in the book sings Fall, April; fall, April; bring new grief to birth, and bring wild herb of grace, and bring deep healing dittany, for Marian, our clear May, so long laid in earth. A verse says that if you get dizzy when authors write that white is black and that black is white, you should sit, quite still, in your chair and say that it is easy enough to be famous now, provided, of course, that you don't care how.
