Dawn, with hallowed flame, seemed to sing your name Through our open window as the golden glory came. Ardor thrilled me through; Dawn again—with you! "Up and at the world again! The world is made anew!" Newly on my sight flashed the lovely light, All the ringing roads of fame glittered broad and bright. On again! with new visions to pursue; And dawn again, dawn again, dawn again—with you! Other dawns may keep joy as pure and deep? Dawns of greater splendor may awaken me from sleep? Nay! they never can bless a stubborn man Like the dawn, the wonder-dawn, with which this day began! Oh, my deeds must take triumph for its sake! Loud my heart shall sing it while the mind remains awake: Words I never knew could so thrill me through— Dawn again, dawn again, dawn again—with you! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MILLS OF DESTINY by EVA K.
