Sunrise

The sun had long since in the lapFrom black to red began to turn.

— Sunrise

Utu, shepherd of the land, father of the black-headed, when you go to sleep, the people go to sleep with you; youth Utu, when you rise, the people rise with you.

— Sunrise

The heavenly-harness'd teamBegins his golden progress in the east.

— Sunrise

He fires the proud tops of the eastern pinesAnd darts his light through every guilty hole.

— Sunrise

As when the golden sun salutes the morn,And overlooks the highest-peering hills.

— Sunrise

Hail, gentle Dawn! mild blushing goddess, hail!And orient pearls from ev'ry shrub depend.

— Sunrise

But yonder comes the powerful King of Day,Rejoicing in the East.

— Sunrise

Oh the road to MandalayChina 'crost the Bay!

— Sunrise

Night is the time for rest;Down on our own delightful bed!

— Sunrise

The whole east was fleckedAs if to show a cope beyond the cope!

— Sunrise

And yonder fly his scattered golden arrows,And smite the hills with day.

— Sunrise

See! led by Morn, with dewy feet, Submissively retire.

— Sunrise

See how thereKneels on the Eastern sanctuary-stair.

— Sunrise

East, oh, east of Himalay Rolling up beyond Cathay.

— Sunrise

The rising sun complies with our weak sight,He knew what harm his hasty beams would do.
