LIGHT from beyond the sea up-breakingWhitens tJie stainless blue afar ;Pale in heaven is the morning star;Earth from the hush of sleep is waking. Glowing clouds on the glowing azure,Amber and rose, with golden rim,Over the far horizon dim. Sailing away in light-winged measure. Waves and waves on the dusky oceanFlash and burn in the rising , wide as the infinite, Mingle and blend in bright commotion. Drops of light on the branches quiver,Drops of light on the grasses gleam,Pure and clear as the morning beam, Shake and shine by the shining river. Clad in light, and the low winds shakingDews from her beautiful locks, earth liesSmiling up to the beautiful skies— Earth from the hush of sleep is waking. John Huie.
