DAWN, by                    
First Line: A faint wine border tints the sky
Last Line: And shatter every laggard star.
Subject(s): Dawn; Sunrise


A faint wine border tints the sky
Above the mist-enshrouded hills,
And some wild bird's stark, instant cry
Awakes a thousand notes and trills.

With flare of color, bursts of song
The pageant of the dawn begins;
Light routs the ghostly shadow-throng
Then onward whirls and twirls and spins.

Amid this gleam of flame and gold,
And vibrant sounds that echo far,
Day's trumpets shrill out high and bold
And shatter every laggard star.
