July 5, 2023GOOD-MORNING
Day’s coming up now, joy’s returned,
Sorrow’s dark cloud-castles captured and burned;
Over the mountain-tops glowing
Light-king his armies is throwing.
“Up now, up now!” calls the bird,
“Up now, up now!” child-voice heard,
Up now my hope in sunshine. “
Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson
