DAWN, by ROSELLE MERCIER MONTGOMERY Poet's Biography First Line: I am a confidant at dawn Last Line: The intimacies of those hours. Subject(s): Dawn; Sunrise | ||||||||
I AM a confidant at Dawn, An intimate of waking things, A lover of pale, lucent skies, A listener for stirring wings. I am no prisoner of Sleep In that dim hour when the Dawn Bends over and confides in me After her lover, Night, is gone. Strange are the things Dawn tells to me Pallid, with tear-dew on her cheeks; I may not tell what secret things She whispers to me when she speaks. Only the sinking stars ... the late Wan, wastrel moon ... the waking flowers ... And birds share with the Dawn and me The intimacies of those hours. | 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 A DESERTED HOUSE by ROSELLE MERCIER MONTGOMERY |
