Dawn

By Maidie E. Barritz

As when, at morn, on looking from the window, We see return to greet us, with the day, The slow, sweet light, in gradual lengths unfolding From shade to shade, from gradual gray to gray,

The same sweet flowers, unfolding in their places, The same sweet, silent rapture of the light, The hill and vale, the field and wood aglow, As when they left our vision with the night;

And as we feel the new life still unfolding, In bird and flower and tree, O, may we see behind it, still returning, The life which flows from Thee.

Only one endlessness, which all includeth Which is or has been known, Yours in the dear day's dawn for choosing What you will make your own.
