Long lines of light against the trembling gray
Slow flushed with red; above, more faint and few
The billowy clouds: beneath, in waves of blue
That rose and fell, dark ranges stretched away
Where in broad mists vale, lake and river lay,
Dim thro’ the dawn. Outlined to clearer view,
As mount from mount his lofty head withdrew,
A hundred peaks turned patient toward the day.
O’er the steep hight of Carrigain at last
Rose the red disc and touched the mists to gold.
Kinsman’s smooth slope and rifted Lafayette
Still lay in purple bathed, till higher yet
Thro’ golden clouds the glorious sun uprolled
And o’er the world the glow of daylight cast.
