Morning

EDITH L. PERKINS

As when across the waking east there showsThe first faint flush of dawn, whose latent beamsPortend the coming of the light that teemsTriumphant till the earth no shadow knows;So in the heart where now but faintly glowsThe presence of the Christ, these quickening gleamsGive promise of release from earthly dreamsWhen Spirit's light the consciousness o'erflows.

EVELYN SYLVESTER KNOWLES
