Eastward the dawn has broken red, + 

The circling mists and shadows flee; + 

Aurora rises from the sea, + 

And leaves the crocus-flowered bed. + 

Eastward the silver arrows fall, + 

Splintering the veil of holy night: + 

And a long wave of yellow light + 

Breaks silently on tower and hall. + 

And speeding wide across the wold + 

Wakes into flight some fluttering bird; + 

And all the chestnut tops are stirred, + 

And all the branches streaked with gold. + 
