It's Dawn! Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

It's Dawn
and the whole Earth sings
but yet the tired Poet-Seer
sleeps the sleep of the just
and noble in his dreamy composure
lies
but then
as the lyre be touched
so Dawn
touching the Poet Seer with gentle mien
awoke he up
startled soft and first
then Dawn took him by the hand
and rose up afresh for a new day
of thought and song:
and rose he
rose to sing and versify:
then
will Earth's people gather
and sing
together in one noble voice
and
the immense heavens
from bound to bound arise
and sing
and All will sing
and All in All and All for All.
