【E外桃源】 【Cat Stevens - Morning has broken（破晓）】 by 逗

Tomorrow is spring solstice, let's sing a song to celebrate the first day in Spring.

"Morning Has Broken" is a popular and well-known Christian hymn first published in 1931.

It has words by English author Eleanor Farjeon and was inspired by the village of Alfriston in East Sussex, then set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune known as "Bunessan."

English folk singer Cat Stevens read this poem at bookstore and loved it very much.

Then this song became identified with Stevens due to the popularity of this recording.

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
