Excerpt from Thinking: And Some of His Thoughts Good-morning, did I hear you say? Good-morning, and right cheerfully, Like sunrise and fresh dews of morn, The world awakes, and it is shorn Of drowsiness, once more alive; And we, like bees about the hive, Should feel the world's inspiring thrill. Good-morning, all, and with good will. Good-morning, and mean every word, Please wear a smile; get it transferred To grouchy faces we may meet. 'twill change their frowns, for when we greet A grumbler who will kick his dog And act at home much like a hog, He can't resist a smiling face; All sweet good-mornings leave their trace.
