The ghostly outlines of the forms

Are clearer now; and the vivid streamers

Of the eastern sky change to the white light

Of the advancing Morn.

Now approach the fuller tones of nature:

Insistent the notes of the tiny feathered ones,

And from the nests and branches come

The piping calls to morning quest.

Now the silver white takes on the faint

Tinging of the purple glow.
