Sunrise,

Across the blue gray of the eastern hill
That softly all the lonely night has slept
There creeps a sudden. soft. compelling
thrill.
AS when an angel hand a harp has
swept,
And all along the far horizons brim
A rosy blush grows through the darkness
dim.
The empty fields lie glittering with frost,
The dull, dun shadows vanish one by
And in the distant realms of night are
lost,
Abashed and frightened by the coming
sun.
Athwart the sky a f1ood of light sweeps
on,
A moment more and all the night is gone.
The world all new and recreated lies
A-tremble for the coming of it's king.
I've heard that this magnificent sunrise,
So fair and gladstone, is a daily thing;
1t happens every morning, it is said,
While most of us are pillow bound in
bed.
But While I've stood the sunrise to be-
hold,
All shivering, in sleeping garment clad,
I've chilled and bargained for a beastly
cold
It's strenuous and tough, this early fad.
1t turns out not as pleasant as it seems;
I'd rather see the sunrise in my dreams.
