"Early In the Morning" by Li-Young Lee

In this poem the author gives you a calm "home sweet home" feeling of a couple that been together for what seem to be years. Its very early because he says "before the birds", meaning that the birds have not waken yet to fill the air with thir chirping sounds. The father sits and waits to hear the sound of music from his wife combing her hair. The author describes her hair as being beautiful art work; it's neat, dark, and is always combed the same way, never changed! The author gives off the feeling(to me atleast) that her hair pined up symbolzes sophistication and when her hair is down it symbolizes seduction and relaxation..its like her hair style represent two sides of her, an early morning and night time. Am i totally off? LoL
