1846The OgilviesIt was as the one amen to the universal love-orison which every young heart breathes at its first awakening.1880Bricks Without StrawThe mocking birds, one after another, were responding to each other's calls, at first sleepily and unwillingly, as though the imprisoned melody compelled expression, and then, thoroughly aroused and perched upon the highest dew-laden branches swaying and tossing beneath them, they poured forth their rival orisons.1900From the Pentlands Looking North and SouthO Thou to whom man's heart is known, | Grant me my morning orison. | Grant me the rover's path—to see | The dawn arise, the daylight flee.Labels: Albion W.
