Aubade
John Ireland, Sydney Thompson Dobell
It is time, O ye leaves
O ye leaves, on the treetops of morning!
Laugh down the trees
That pastures may wake!
It is time, O ye streams
O ye streams, on the hilltops of morning!
Run down the hills
That the valleys may wake!
It is time, O ye bells
O ye bells, in the grey spire of morning!
Run down the spire
That the hamlet may wake!
