Good morning Permatang Pauh

I always thought that this song by Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) was self-composed but I was mistaken. The words came from a poem by a lady named Eleanor Farjeon. Here is the poem. I think you will know it so well that you can sing it along with me (and let the chords on the piano resound loudly in your head):

A Morning Song (For the First Day of Spring)
by Eleanor Farjeon

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
