AN ACROSTIC: THE SUN, by                    
First Line: Darting his rays the sun now gloriously rides
Last Line: Nor till gray twilight, aught abate thy force.
Subject(s): Sun


Darting his rays the sun now glorious rides,
And from his path fell darkness quick divides;
Vapour dissolves and shrinks at his approach,
It dares not on his blazing path encroach;
Down droops the flow'ret, -- and his burning ray
Scorches the workmen o'er the new-mown hay.
Oh! lamp of Heav'n, pursue thy glorious course,
Nor till gray twilight, aught abate thy force.
