DAWN
-
Yet, behind the night,
Waits for the great unborn, somewhere afar,
Some white tremendous daybreak.—RUPERT BROOKE, Second Best
-
Day!
Faster and more fast,
O'er night's brim, day boils at last
Boils, pure gold, o'er the cloud-cup's brim.—BROWNING, Pippa Passes
-
On the road to Mandalay
Where the flyin'-fishes play
An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer
China' crost the Bay!—KIPLING, Mandalay
-
Out of the shadows of night
The world rolls into light;
It is daybreak everywhere.—LONGFELLOW, The Bells of San Blas
-
But, look, the morn in russet mantle clad,
Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastern hill.—SHAKESPEARE, Hamlet
-
The glow-worm shows the matin to be near,
And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire.—SHAKESPEARE, Hamlet
-
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountainĀtops.—SHAKESPEARE, Romeo and Juliet
-
For what human ill does not dawn seem to be an alleviation?—THORNTON WILDER, The Bridge of San Luis Rey
