Good gloomy London make a poem of?

Such ought to be whatever dares precede,

Play ruddy herald-star to your white blaze

About to bring us day. How fail imbibe

Some foretaste of effulgence? Sun shall wax,

And star shall wane: what matter, so star tell

The drowsy world to start awake, rub eyes,

And stand all ready for morn's joy a-blush?
