The midnight's dusk has fled,
While soft and calm, the light
Steals from the Eastern grove
To drive away the night.
No breeze floats on the air
But silence, deep, profo md,
Is wrapped about the bills
And broods the sleeping ground.
AS lighter grows the vale,
The deeper shadows peep,
From out the forest aisles,
Where flowers nod in sleep.
Then birds awake and sing,
Or trill in maths gay.
While from the azure East
The Dawn comes q 'er the way.
