SUNRISE, by                    
First Line: I've never seen the great sun rise
Last Line: And stoops to drink the seas.
Subject(s): Dawn; Sun; Sunrise


I've never seen the great sun rise,
For then I am in bed;
The sands of slumber in my eyes
Hold down my drowsy head.

I think the sun climbs up the sky
And throws the clouds away,
Then girds her flaming tunic high
And strides to meet the day.

Soft-touched by bird's wings is her head;
Her feet caressed by trees;
She turns their leaves to gold and red
And stoops to drink the seas.
