First Line: Now dawn comes filtering through the dark
Last Line: Behold, another day is here!
Subject(s): Dawn; Sunrise
Now dawn comes filtering through the dark
On long horizon's eastern rim;
The waking birds chirp soft and low;
The last few lingering stars grow dim
As opalescent shafts of gold,
Like arrows, pierce the shadows near;
And, glorified in rosy light,
Behold, another day is here!
