ON THE MASSACHUSETTS COAST: MORNING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Now the sun tips with fire every wave's tossing crest
Last Line: We are glad in the azure and splendor of morning!
Alternate Author Name(s): Dean
Subject(s): Morning


NOW the sun tips with fire every wave's tossing crest;
The gulls are blown seaward, the wind's in the west;
And the wide-rolling deep and the kelp-laden shore
See cloud and fog fleeing to gray Labrador.
The ships, all a-thrill with the joy of the breeze,
Sail portward as light as the foam on the seas;
Not a film in the sky — not a mote in the air —
The blue seems the bright wall of heaven laid bare —
And the gloom of the night and its ghostly cry scorning,
We are glad in the azure and splendor of morning!
