Early Morning Reign

 

Yellow-crimson eastern sky

The warning night is spent

Like a dark-clad

Desert nomad

Folds a faded tent

 

Alabaster spines fan out

To shoo the misty cloak

And golden ray

Of infant day

The Mockingbirds evoke

 

Warm me now and melt the frost

That lingers in my core

The residue

Of stellar dew

Remains of night before

 

A million suns, like specks of dust,

Their "song of night" still sing

Now chased away

Make way! make way!

Behold the Golden King!
