SOMEWHERE A DAWN, by KATHARINE WASHBURN HARDING
First Line: Dawn now lifts eagerly her lovely head
Last Line: Swift falls a veil and they are one again.
Subject(s): Dawn; Sunrise
First Line: Dawn now lifts eagerly her lovely head
Last Line: Swift falls a veil and they are one again.
Subject(s): Dawn; Sunrise
Dawn now lifts eagerly her lovely head
And tears away the curtain of the night;
Glistening and clear drop crystal ropes of light
That banish soon the last, dark, flying shred.
Winds sigh themselves awake and softly lift
The damp, sweet incense of unfolding flowers,
Bringing rebirth of unforsaken hours
Filled with strange memories that drift and drift.
Somewhere I knew a dawn like amethyst
Sunk faintly in a lost ten thousand years;
I feel the shadowy impress of old fears,
While broken notes of birds stir through the mist, --
Twin moments hung in time's abyss, and then
Swift falls a veil and they are one again.
