Nature
Dawn
From The Oxford Book of Canadian Verse (1913)
Nature
With folded wings of dusky light
Upon the purple hills she stands,
An angel between day and night,
With tinted shadows in her hands ;
Till suddenly transfigured there,
With all her dazzling plumes unfurled
She climbs the crimson-flooded air,
And flies in glory o'er the world.
