glad here are awaken

The night is done.

The day is here.

I awaken when it is day.

The birds awaken when it is day.

The flowers awaken when it is day.

I see the sun in the sky.

The sun rises above the hills.

The sun rises above the trees.

The birds and the flowers are glad to see the sun.

Are you glad the night is done?

”Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge.”--_Psalms 19:2_.

THE INFANT SAMUEL By Reynolds (1723-1792)

Sir Joshua Reynolds is thought by many to have been the greatest of English painters. He was a Devons.h.i.+re lad, and was intended by his father for the medical profession. He early showed such apt.i.tude for painting that he was permitted to have his way, and after studying in Italy, returned to England, where an exhibition of his work aroused great enthusiasm, and his popularity continued through his life.
