Analysis of Early In The Morning I Hear On Your Piano
Robert Louis Stevenson 1850 (Edinburgh) – 1894 (Vailima, Samoa)
EARLY in the morning I hear on your piano
You (at least, I guess it's you) proceed to learn to play.
Mostly little minds should take and tackle their piano
While the birds are singing in the morning of the day.
