“Dawn talks to Day
Over dew-gleaming flowers”
Love is Enough (1872), Song VII: Dawn Talks to Day
Context: Dawn talks to Day
Over dew-gleaming flowers,
Night flies away
Till the resting of hours:
Fresh are thy feet
And with dreams thine eyes glistening,
Thy still lips are sweet
Though the world is a-listening.
O Love, set a word in my mouth for our meeting,
Cast thine arms round about me to stay my heart's beating!
O fresh day, O fair day, O long day made ours!
“sometimes i get up at dawn, and even my soul is wet.”

In rings of beauty,
And all my ways are dewy wet
With pleasant duty.”
