I rise up in the crimson morn and see

The red irrevocable Sun rise too

Out of the eastern wave. All day I watch

Him slowly travel his unyielding path,

Hating him all the while, yet hating more

The sullen gloom of twilight that his fall

Forces the world to wear.... All through the day

I search the stolid sand for what may be

Of life that lies where turtles lay before;

For if today I have enough, tomorrow
