# Dawn
<!-- page:1117 -->

Dawn By Harrison R. Merrill Dawn! Glowing with promise, Smiling, serene, Backed by thin sunlight Thy beauties are seen; Flecked with the white-caps Of .God's azure sea Flung from the headlands In dim witchery! Dawn! How his glory Shines through the thin veil And haloes each mountain And hallows each vale! And Haloes Each Mountain and Hallows Each Vale
