Wish us good morning when we wake
And light us, Lord, with thy day-break.
Beat from our brains the thicky night
And fill the world up with delight.
Nice to see that even great poets and thinkers are not morning people.
(Gerard Manly Hopkins: translation of St Bernard's Jesu Dulcis Memoria.)

Amen!
"Beat from our brains"—now that's art, maaaate.
I hope your young bub is not doing too much morning beating of your brains.
