Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose
From out night's gray and cloudy sheath;
Softly and still it grows and grows,
Petal by petal, leaf by leaf.

That, ere the glorious sun be born,
By some soft touch invisible
Around his path are taught to swell.

Longing lifted its weight from me,
Lost as a sob in the midst of cheering,
Swept as a sea-bird out to sea.

Nothing's the matter with it that I know of.

Like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken
Like the first bird.

Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing
Fresh from the Word!

and the bolt of the evening.

I have watched them one by one,
Fading on the shores of Dawn.
Round and full the glorious sun
Walks with level step the spray,
Through his vestibule of Day.

The bridges, till the houses' walls
Seemed changed to shadows, and St. Paul's
Loomed like a bubble o'er the town.

Draw forth the cheerful day from night;
O Father, touch the east, and light
The light that shone when Hope was born.

A. A. Milne Winnie-the-Pooh (1926)

The morn is up again, the dewy morn,
With breath all incense, and with cheek all bloom,
Laughing the clouds away with playful scorn,
And living as if earth contained no tomb,—
And glowing into day.

Lord Byron

Thy cheek begins to redden thro' the gloom,
Thy sweet eyes brighten slowly close to mine,
Ere yet they blind the stars, and the wild team
Which love thee, yearning for thy yoke, arise,
And shake the darkness from their loosen'd manes,
And beat the twilight into flakes of fire.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson Tithonus (1860)

If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years
Will rise on that morn.
