Poem by Sidney Lanier

Marsh Hymns

Between Dawn and Sunrise.

Were silver pink, and had a soul,
Which soul were shy, which shyness might
A visible influence be, and roll
Through heaven and earth -- ’twere thou, O light!

O rhapsody of the wraith of red,
O blush but yet in prophecy,
O sun-hint that hath overspread
Sky, marsh, my soul, and yonder sail.

1. On Huntingdon’s "Miranda"
2. Special Pleading
3. Souls and Rain-Drops
4. Spring Greeting
5. My Springs
