Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 25. Sapphic Dawn
Dawn upon the eastern horizon growing,
bathing birch and tamarack, redly glowing,
over marsh and mountainside, new light showing,
waking the meadow;
Torn the long night's circumspect silent shadow,
sweet the notes first sounded with great bravado,
echoes now the hopeful white throated sparrow,
calling his soul mate;
"Hey, Sam, Hey Sam Peabody," sung with slow weight,
outsized heart cry mournfully fills the lea gate,
that with daylight one speckled bird may locate
ardor o'erflowing.
