Morning Work

D. H. Lawrence

1885 to 1930

Poem Image

We are working on musical arrangements of Morning Work by D. H. Lawrence and they will be published on a date yet to be decided.

A gang of labourers on the piled wet timber
That shines blood-red beside the railway siding
Seem to be making out of the blue of the morning
Something faery and fine, the shuttles sliding,

The red-gold spools of their hands and faces shuttling
Hither and thither across the morn’s crystalline frame
Of blue: trolls at the cave of ringing cerulean mining,
And laughing with work, living their work like a game.
