Far into the vast the mist grows dim, A deep and holy silence broods around, Fire burns beyond the vaporous rim, And crystal-like the dew bestrews the ground. The last laggard star has fled the glowing sky, Comes a quiet stirring and a gentle light, A vast pulsating music, throbbing harmony, Beyond the Sun delivered from the gloom of night! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THIS MORNING, GOD by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR BURNING DAWN by HAYDEN CARRUTH DAWN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON IN THE GARDEN AT THE DAWN HOUR by EDGAR LEE MASTERS EARLY RISER by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE WORDS WHEN WE NEED THEM by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE |
