• The Red — Blaze — is the Morning —

    The Violet — is Noon —

    The Yellow — Day — is falling —

    And after that — is none —


    But Miles of Sparks — at Evening —

    Reveal the Width that burned —

    The Territory Argent — that

    Supposed that He had come to dwell —

    And Life would all be Spring!


    She felt herself supremer —

    A Raised — Ethereal Thing!

    Henceforth — for Her — What Holiday!

  • 'Tis morning; and the sun, with ruddy orb

    Ascending, fires th' horizon: while the clouds,

  • Will there really be a "Morning"?

    Is there such a thing as "Day"?

    Could I see it from the mountains

    If I were as tall as they?


    Has it feet like Water lilies?

    Has it feathers like a Bird?

    Is it brought from famous countries

    Of which I have never heard?


    Oh some Scholar!...
