Morning has broken, like the first morning.
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/cat_stevens/morning_has_broken.html ]
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlight from heaven.
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetnes 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.
Morning has broken, like the first morning.
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word.

It's a christian hymn. It was recreated also as a song to represent the beginning of spring, or for the first day of spring. It was recreated by eleanor farjeon who was asked to make a poem to fit a scottish tune, as a song of praise for each new day. It was originally used as a christmas carol. Eden to us is the garden of eden. His to us means "the lord" or god. He has created all of us to praise him, whether it be with singing, our actions, or whatever we do in everyday life.

Everyday creation from the lord & how humankind does not appreciate it.
He is his feet pass... God. Where did the cat come from? No cat in song. Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,sprung in compleatness where his feet pass... Fruit in the garden grows after rain. Our fruits we show everday good or bad we bear fruits. God is the compleatness in the garden,his creation. Sorry but no cat in song,only in your teachers mind,song started as a poem to show our thanks to god for every morning he gives us. Also every song can and has been twisted to fit each ones needs,things they love. Ilove god,teacher loved cats... Yg
I kinda doubt the "he" referred to is solely a cat in the garden. A cat in the garden perhaps spurred the creation of this song, but with phrases like "fresh from the word", "one light eden saw play", and "god's recreation", it is no doubt a spiritual song as well. A double meaning perhaps, a singular meaning, no. What a beautiful song!
It is a great song. The lyrics written by eleanor farjeon who was a popular children's author. The he referred to is a cat walking in the morning garden. The tune is a traditional gaelic song. Previous lyrics to the tune were about the first christmas. I studied this sing in college english class and enjoyed reading other works by farjeon.
