THE SUN JUST TOUCHED THE MORNING, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Henceforth — her only one!
Subject(s): Love – Unrequited; Sun; Morning


The Sun - just touched the Morning -
The Morning - Happy thing -
Supposed that He had come to dwell -
And Life would all be Spring!

She felt herself supremer -
A Raised - Ethereal Thing!
Henceforth - for Her - What Holiday!
Meanwhile - Her wheeling King -
Trailed - slow - along the Orchards -
His haughty - spangled Hems -
Leaving a new necessity!
The want of Diadems!

The Morning - fluttered - staggered -
Felt feebly - for Her Crown -
Her unanointed forehead -
Henceforth - Her only One!
