A poem by Sidney Lanier

Marsh Hymns

Marsh Hymns

Between Dawn and Sunrise.


Were silver pink, and had a soul,
Which soul were shy, which shyness might
A visible influence be, and roll
Through heaven and earth -- 'twere thou, O light!

O rhapsody of the wraith of red,
O blush but yet in prophecy,
O sun-hint that hath overspread
Sky, marsh, my soul, and yonder sail.


-THE END-
Sidney Lanier's poem: Marsh Hymns
