Eos Poem by Ella Goodman

O morning here thou come, bathed in white, magic begun
Divine light set on earth, beautifying the day’s full worth
Glorious Sun thou art the source, warmth and light in full compose
Merry filled air it scent, in Nature’s pure budding best
The twittering birds in their nest soak the glow with every breath
Magic filled earth it yawns, the azure rays when upon her falls
O lovely air and lovely dale, thy gorgeous heart beat all well,
When chaste delight fill the lair, the lovely soul wake all fair
Singing glory of the Lord, the birds and beasts take their call
Mystic Nature smiles in coy; the busy bodies in haste uncoil

The halcyon in her floating nest, fly across the mist clad deep
Perpetual flight, free in zest, buoyant soul in paradise’s quest,
Hail the day in high spirit, new hope marks her very grit.
The Swallows and the white meek dove greet the dawn in swift concern
Nature’s wonder reconciled in thee, aerial souls they fly wild free
The Sea Nymph wakes from her inclined sleep, day-light glitter
Her native field, playful mood she thus conjure
Dance in gay and joy galore.
The Dolphins, sea gulls hark the start, festive glee all engulf
Twixt’d by broad glistening light, Night she bid her soft good-bye
Matins sing in praise of Dawn, festive morn thus adorn

The dew bathed grass cleaned of dust, soak the glow with joy filled lark
Little beasts upon them walk, licking their sweet green locks
Chanter by Nature fills the lay, set to tunes the unstrung chord
The symphony of the unknown strain, binds the soul to unfailing bond
Placid morn, the gay cosmos sing, in unison with earthly beings
Joy and love, life and mirth, fill all souls, all love struck
Blooming in jolly minstrelsy sets to flame the heart in glee,
The leafy spring with myriads green, exercise her power of wing
Rising high in dew kissed breeze, green seraph dart up to sing.
The earth stir up from her fancy dream, cloaked in glitter star filled thrill
Eos rise from her edge, herald the birth of new day!
Beauteous touch so calm and serene,
Like meditating solitude knit in undistracted care,
Caress the folks young or old
Stir the soul from idle shore.
Hence glides Eos in golden cloak!
