AT DAWN

Virna Sheard

Turn to thy window in the silver hour That day comes stepping down the hills of night, Infolded as the leaves infold a flower By all her rose-leaf robes of misty light.

Then, like a joy born out of blackest sorrow, The miracle of morning seems to say, “There is no night without its dear to-morrow, No lonely dark that does not find the day.”
