A TRUMPET BLAST by THOMAS ANSTEY GUTHERIE

First Line: PALE PATRICIANS, SUNK IN SELF-INDULGENCE
Last Line: DEMOS DAWNING, AND THE DARKNESS DONE!
Subject(s): DAWN; TRUMPETS; SUNRISE;

Pale Patricians, sunk in self-indulgence,
Blink your bleared eyes. Behold the Sun --
Burst proclaim in purpurate effulgence,
Demos dawning, and the Darkness done!
