Bringing the Dawn

Bringing the Dawn

At early dusk she laughs with painted glee:
"I'll stay up all night, myself awake the dawn!"
A midnight stroke and what is it that we see?
Eyes wide open, narry the slightest yawn.

"A lovely night, so fair so fair!" says she.
"A cup o'Joe to help me stay awake."
Two hours pass, what is it that we see?
Alive and pert, a beautiful breath to take.

At half past four, the morning hours wee
Creep closer, our sweet sun to soon arise.
Another glance to find now what we see,
A healthy yawn to play with half-mast eyes.

Now seven a.m. we peek again to see
A weary face and lowly drooping head.
"The sun is up, the time is right," says she,
"The perfect time for me to go to bed!"
