Day-Break.
By John Clare
The red east glows, the dewy cheek of Day Has not yet met the sun's o'erpowering smile; The dew-drops in their beauty still are gay, Save those the shepherd's early steps defile. Pleas'd will I linger o'er the scene awhile; The black clouds melt away, the larks awaken-- Sing, rising bird, and I will join with thee: With day-break's beauties I have much been taken, As thy first anthem breath'd its melody. I've stood and paus'd the varied cloud to see, And warm'd in ecstacy, and look'd and warm'd, When day's first rays, the far hill top adorning, Fring'd the blue clouds with gold: O doubly charm'd I hung in raptures then on early Morning.
