ADVENTURE by ANNE MATHILDE ROBINSON

First Line: OPEN IT SLOWLY
Last Line: IN MEMORY'S EYES!
Subject(s): DAWN; LIGHT; MEMORY; MORNING; NIGHT; SUNRISE; BEDTIME;

Open it slowly,
The door of the Night,
Lest you uncover
Too sudden a Light.

Muffle your foot-fall,
Take by surprise
The joy of the dawning
In Memory's eyes!
