The sundawn fills the landA
Full as a feaster's handA
Fills full with bloom of blandA
Bright wine his cupB
Flows full to flood that fillsC
From the arch of air it thrillsC
Those rust red iron hillsC
With morning upB
-
Dawn as a panther springsD
With fierce and fire fledged wingsD
Leaps on the land that ringsD
From her bright feetE
Through all its lava blackF
Cones that cast answer backF
And cliffs of footless trackF
Where thunders meetE
-
The light speaks wide and loudG
From deeps blown clean of cloudG
As though day's heart were proudG
And heaven's were gladH
The towers brown striped and greyI
Take fire from heaven of dayI
As though the prayers they prayI
Their answers hadH
-
Higher in these high first hoursJ
Wax all the keen church towersJ
And higher all hearts of oursJ
Than the old hills' crownK
Higher than the pillared heightL
Of that strange cliff side brightL
With basalt towers whose mightL
Strong time bows downK
-
And the old fierce ruin thereM
Of the old wild princes' lairM
Whose blood in mine hath shareM
Gapes gaunt and greatN
Toward heaven that long agoO
Watched all the wan land's woeO
Whereon the wind would blowO
Of their bleak hateN
-
Dead are those deeds but yetP
Their memory seems to fretP
Lands that might else forgetP
That old world's brandA
Dead all their sins and daysQ
Yet in this red clime's raysQ
Some fiery memory staysQ
That sears their landA

Algernon Charles Swinburne
