BREAK OF DAY
Awake and kiss the dawn
Lift up the arms
To give a fond embrace
Make welcome, give a salutation
As filtering sunbeams dance upon your form
How long, how great their journey?
But now their special particles
Are here to touch upon your flesh
Spread upon your shoulders
Sparkle in your hair
Hail. Welcome dawn.
I sweetly revel in your fanned out play
In this precious moment of
The early time of day.
From its secret glade
Rising from its sleep, looks out a faun
Wide eyed in its gaze of innocence
Moving in its own epernal oneness
To brush upon some dew wet grasses
With its lips and step, so delicate
From its dappled bower
