LORD OF MORNING.

Bliss Carman

Lord of morning, light of day, Sacred color-kindling sun, We salute thee in the way,— Pilgrims robed in rose and dun.

For thou art a pilgrim too, Overlord of all our band. In thy fervor we renew Quests we do not understand.

At thy summons we arise, At thy touch put glory on. And with glad unanxious eyes Take the journey thou hast gone.
