"Morning Has Broken" greets the day as though it were the very first morning ever to dawn, when a blackbird's song rang out pure and new. In four lines of quiet reverence, the poem invites readers to pause and feel wonder at the freshness of daylight and birdsong — simple gifts that arrive each day as if born again from the beginning of the world.
