SONNETS OF SUNRISE: 2, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: So would I wait for thee, o sun of love
Last Line: Kiss all my buds to leaves, thou lord of light!
Subject(s): Dawn; Sunrise


So would I wait for thee, O Sun of Love!
In some still garden in a dawn of spring,
Where happy-hearted birds awake and sing,
And gentle flower-spirits idly rove.
Oh, may the sky pale amber and pure mauve
In stainless fields of rare adventure fling
Before thy feet, while daffodils slow-swing
Their fragrant censers in a golden grove. ...

But may I, like that dawn-enchanted tree,
Stand motionless, in rapture of desire
To greet the day and bid farewell to night.
Oh, when my spirit trembles forth to thee,
Arise, and flood me with thy living fire!
Kiss all my buds to leaves, thou Lord of Light!
