DAWN AT KINLOCH, by                    
First Line: In poise on the unfathomable deep
Last Line: Unto itself the miracle of day.
Subject(s): Dawn; Day; Sunrise


IN POISE on the unfathomable deep,
The waning moon upon the marge of night
Broods o'er the primal, immemorial sleep
Of boundless marsh, all with dim stars bedight,
And held in trance as by some timeless thrall.
E'en then a taken breath begins to stir,—
A breath soon merging with the whispering call
Of silken wings increasingly a-whir,
Of feathered spirits breasting toward the dawn,
Of questing life re-born to try its way
Past all horizons. Now the light rides on;
A myriad blades are brought to bright array
Of crystal fire; and the marsh has drawn
Unto itself the miracle of day.
