the landscape waits the day

Walter Wingate

 

A Misty Dawn

The air is moist with thaw;

And where with patient moil

The teams their furrows draw,

A following halo crowns their warmth of toil.

The alders where they rim

The half-awakened stream,

Are vapour swathed and dim,

Like morning sleepers trammelled yet with dream.

 

The autumn hues are flown:

The landscape waits the day

Subdued to monotone:

A pencil sketch upon a ground of grey.

 

But where the morning shows

Beyond the eastern pale,

The mist is warmed with rose-

Faint as a blush behind a bridal veil.
