Daybreak? a Poem

Improvement Era, vol. 2, no. 11, September 1899, p. 866

Davis, E. R.

DAYBREAK.

Daybreak? Not yet; the silver darts of Dawn, Yet few and faint, but show it's coming on; Full many a shaft, barred in its way By Error's mount, delays the coming day.

Daybreak? Not yet: the brighter shafts of Day Through Error's mount have not yet forced their way; The greater bolts, shot from the source of light. Through mighty weight, are tardy in their flight.

Daybreak? Not yet. But see! On yonder pile The struggling shafts dispersing darkness vile. Far off, I see the fair and hallowed light Encroaching on the ancient realms of night. Logan Utah. E. R. Davis.
