OTCJT'IEaO OIEQ A PINEHURST MORNING Tie east its violet robe had shed, When near a casement, in a tree, 4 'Get up! Get up! Thou slug-a-bed!" A mocking bird made mock at me. Then something stirred within my brain; I was awake, alert and keen Who had been drowsy as the train That puffs and crawls from Aberdeen. Again the mocking-bird: "Get up! See how the waiting morning shines! Go forth and taste its golden cup And hear the wind within the pines!" So at this lyrical command I felt that I must needs obey; Then the wind took me by the hand And led me down a winding way. And ever, wheresoever I went, By open field or close confines, The wind on its clear instrument Made music for me in the pines. And if I chanced a flower to find Beneath a leaf or spray or fir, Down from the pine trees came the wind To act as my interpreter. "The arbutus shows," he cried in mirth, Seeing me pluck a blossom fair, "How sweet in Carolinian earth; I show how tonic is its air." What better comrade could I chose Divining more than man divines Of nature and its brimming cruse, Than the rare spirit of the Pines. Hear then a last applausive word From one who drained morn's golden cup ! My thanks are to tliat mocking-bird Who cried to me "Get up! Get up!"
