| | I LIGHT—imperceptible as | |
| One thin veil drawn across blackness: | |
| Is it dawn?… | |
| Comes the twitter-whistle of sleepy birds | |
| Crescendo … | 5 |
| Now bright grayness creeping | |
| Drowns the dark; and waves of sea-wind | |
| Rock the thin leaves … | |
| A door bangs; sharp barks from dogs released, scampering. | |
| After some silence, footsteps. | 10 |
| And the rising bustle of people | |
| Roused by the day-break. | |
| |
II Mysterious; threatening: | |
| Dawn over housetops silhouetted | |
| Like crenelated battlements | 15 |
| Against light of a stage scene. | | | | |
