DAWN is up at my window, and in the May-tree
The finches gossip, and tits, and beautiful sparrows
With feathers bright and brown as September hazels.
The sunlight is here, filtered through rosy curtains,
Docile and disembodied, a ghost of sunlight,
A gentle light to greet the dreamer returning.
Part the curtains. I give you salutation
Day, clear day; let us be friendly fellows.
Come. . . . I hear the Liars about the city.
