THE DAWN, by                    
First Line: Shimmering, glimmering, mystical dawn
Last Line: Loosed from my doubts, I welcome thee, dawn.
Subject(s): Dawn; Morning; Rebirth; Sunrise


Shimmering, glimmering, mystical Dawn,
Herald art thou of the birth of the morn,
Robed in thy gown bespangled with dew,
Flushed is thy cheek with a deep crimson hue,
Golden thy locks and blue is thine eye,
Sweet are my thoughts when thy charms I descry.

Gloom in my heart at thy coming takes wings,
Joy sees thy smile and exultingly sings,
Memory sleeps and dead is the past,
Yester-year's hopes like an army are massed,
Strengthened, I leap with a power new-born,
Loosed from my doubts, I welcome thee, Dawn.
