DAYBREAK (2), by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Thou hast not looked on yesterday
Last Line: From silence come again.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Dawn; Sunrise


Thou hast not looked on Yesterday
Nor shalt Tomorrow see;
Upon thy solitary way
Is none to pilot thee: --
Thou comest to thine own
A stranger and alone.

And yet, alas, thy countenance
To us familiar seems;
The wonder of thy wakening glance,
The vanishing of dreams,
Is like an old refrain
From silence come again.
