DAWN by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE

First Line: QUIET MILES OF GOLDEN SKY
Last Line: A LITTLE ROSE-BUD OF A SONG.
Subject(s): BEAUTY; DAWN; SUNRISE;
QUIET miles of golden sky,
And in my heart a sudden flower.
I want to clap my hands and cry
For Beauty in her secret bower.

Quiet golden miles of dawn --
Smiling all the East along;
And in my heart nigh fully blown,
A little rose-bud of a song.
