LYRICS

THE DAWN IS HERE

TE DAY is in the dawn -

In water without sound,

In cobwebs on the ground,

In this wan bush and swan

Who hides his head. Infer

The noon from these. Oh, were

The silence never to break,

The water nevermore

To beat upon the shore,

Nor trumpeter to wake

With ruffled wings and cries

And avid black-ringed eyes,

Implicit in this hush

That's on the spectral bush,

The water's lifeless gray,

The spider's silver thread,

The swan who hides his head.
