  "summary": "\"Early One Morning\" is a short nursery rhyme poem you can read free online, built around the haunting voice of a young maid singing at sunrise in a valley below. She recalls a lover's broken promise — a man who pledged his devotion, then rode away at daybreak, leaving her behind in grief. Her refrain, pleading never to be deceived or abandoned, carries a raw emotional weight that feels far deeper than its gentle, melodic lines suggest.",
