“To bear, to nurse, to rear,
To watch and then to lose,
To see my bright ones disappear,
Drawn up like morning dews.”

Jean Ingelow (1820–1897) British writer

"Songs of Seven. Seven times Six", reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

“The year's at the spring,
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearl'd;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven—
All's right with the world!”
