from Breakfast
A dinner party, coffee, tea,
Sandwich, or supper, all may be
In their way pleasant. But to me
Not one of these deserves the praise
That welcomer of new-born days,
A breakfast, merits; ever giving
Cheerful notice we are living
Another day refreshed by sleep,
When its festival we keep.
Now although I would not slight
Those kindly words we use 'Good night'
Yet parting words are words of sorrow
And may not vie with sweet 'Good Morrow'
With which again our friends we greet
When in the breakfast-room we meet
At the social table round
Listening to the lively sound
Of those notes which never tire
Of urn, or kettle on the fire.
– Mary Lamb (1809)
