LIGHT by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: WE KNOW THEE NOT, SAVE THAT WHEN THOU ARE GONE
Last Line: COME WITH THE GIFT OF FRANCHISEMENT AGAIN.
Subject(s): DAWN; SUNRISE;

We know thee not, save that when thou are gone,
Thy sister, beauty, follows in thy train,
Leaving the soul in exile till the dawn
Come with the gift of franchisement again.
