MY LADY'S MORNING SONG, by CHARLES LOUIS HENRY WAGNER First Line: The morning breaks; the golden light disperses dimming Last Line: My tribute to her art. Subject(s): Admiration; Love; Women | ||||||||
The morning breaks; the golden light disperses dimming stars Reluctant yet to go, I rise to greet the glorious sight, the vari-tinted bars From Dawn's resplendent glow, And ere I comprehend the scene, the splendors of the morn Now speeding on its wings, I hear the voice of Morning's queen along the soft winds borne; My Lady sweetly sings. The flight-song of the fleet-winged bird, the purple martin's lay, Though sweet, is naught beside The melody and strains I've heard, my Lady's hymn to Day, 'Tis music glorified, A miracle of sound that fills my soul with raptured bliss, And echoes in my heart, Each note entrances me, and thrills, I waft to her a kiss; My tribute to her art. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER A WOMAN'S DELUSION by SUSAN HOWE JULIA TUTWILER STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN by ANDREW HUDGINS THE WOMEN ON CYTHAERON by ROBINSON JEFFERS TOMORROW by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LADIES FOR DINNER, SAIPAN by KENNETH KOCH GOODBYE TO TOLERANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV A DROP OF INK by CHARLES LOUIS HENRY WAGNER |
