Classic and Contemporary Poetry
DAWN, by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS First Line: A faint wine border tints the sky Last Line: And shatter every laggard star. Subject(s): Dawn; Sunrise | |||
A faint wine border tints the sky Above the mist-enshrouded hills, And some wild bird's stark, instant cry Awakes a thousand notes and trills. With flare of color, bursts of song The pageant of the dawn begins; Light routs the ghostly shadow-throng Then onward whirls and twirls and spins. Amid this gleam of flame and gold, And vibrant sounds that echo far, Day's trumpets shrill out high and bold And shatter every laggard star. | 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 AT ELLIS ISLAND by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS |
