"SUNRISE."

(A Sonnet.) Noav Phoebus, Arresting free from Tithon’s bourn, Sets firm his chariot on the arching deep. v Night clings with tender cheek, intent to steep In his uprising lavishment her torn And heavy pinions. Glamour-reft and worn, Upcodls she then her cloak Avhence gems wan peep And, breathing in the listless ear of Sleep Her summons, Avings reluctant and forlorn. Link’d with the hours in dance is Flora gowned In dew-girt woof of ling and daffodils*— As, from the tryst on haze-capt, east- ’ most hills, , . She gladdens with them to the lower Where, r< on l the marish waters, slumber-. The b climt)ing god his rosied amher, spills. Courtenay Luck.
