The Dawn + 

And must I ever wake, gray dawn, to know + 

Thee standing sadly by me like a ghost? + 

I am perplexed with thee that thou shouldst cost + 

This earth another turning! All aglow + 

Thou shouldst have reached me, with a purple show + 

Along far mountain-tops! and I would post + 

Over the breadth of seas, though I were lost + 

In the hot phantom-chase for life, if so + 

Thou earnest ever with this numbing sense + 

Of chilly distance and unlovely light, + 

Waking this gnawing soul anew to fight + 

With its perpetual load: I drive thee hence! + 

I have another mountain-range from whence + 

Bursteth a sun unutterably bright! + 
