First Line: She only knew the birth and death
Last Line: As the grey dawn came in.
Subject(s): Dawn; Sunrise
She only knew the birth and death
Of days, when each that died
Was still at morn a hope, at night
A hope unsatisfied.
The dark trees shivered to behold
Another day begin;
She, being hopeless, did not weep
As the grey dawn came in.
