First Line: The dusky handwork of the night
Last Line: To fold the lovely night away!
Subject(s): Dawn; Day; Light; Sunrise
The dusky handwork of the night
Has shimmering holes where day shines through,
Vivid points of radiant light
In a lace crochet of midnight blue.
Bow-shaped chiffon gleams crystal-clear
With silvery thread of air-sheer day,
When dawn peeps over the hemisphere
To fold the lovely night away!
