Slowly the dawn a magic paleness drew	A
From windows dim the Pillar high in air	B
Over dark statues and dumb fountains threw	A
A shadow on the solitary square	B
	-
They that all night dozing disquieted	C
Huddled together on the benches cold	C
Now shrank apart distrustful and unfed	C
And by the growing radiance unconsoled	C
	-
Then one a woman silently arose	D
And came to the broad fountain brimming cool	E
And over the stone margin leaning close	F
Dipped hands and bathed her forehead in the pool	E
	-
Now as the fresh drops ran upon her brow	G
And her hands knotted up her hair the ways	H
Of old lost mornings came to her and how	G
Into her mirror she would smile and gaze	H
	-
Then she was troubled and looked down once more	I
Into the glimmering water and she seemed	C
The very depth of darkness to explore	I
If it might yield all that she feared and dreamed	C
	-
But that kind clouding mirror answered her	J
With a soft answer liquid mysteries	K
Of shadow with a pale breeze just astir	J
Yielded only the brightness of her eyes	L
	-
It was herself but O what magic wrought	C
A presage round her tender and obscure	J
The water without stain refused her not	C
In that deep vision she rejoined the pure	J
	-
The dawn stole on and from its buried place	M
Rose in her bosom the sweet strength of youth	N
She the rejected had no more disgrace	M
Her opening heart drew in a different truth	N
	-
She that had come past her last hope and found	C
Nothing beyond and had shed no more tears	O
But closing with dull ashes her first wound	C
Had trodden into the daily dust all fears	P
	-
She now began to wonder and to thrill	Q
Upon a new horizon and the pain	R
Of hope began to quicken and to fill	Q
The world with strangeness and desire again	S
	-
O then I am not come quite to the end	C
She murmured and life holds more than I knew	A
Somewhere by seeking I may find a friend	C
Perhaps and something in this world be true	A
	-
Alone in this bright battle whose fierce din	T
Even now awakes round her defenceless lot	C
Without home friend comfort or peace within	T
The very stones might weep her She weeps not	C
	-
But as a plant that under parching drouth	N
Thirsted and drooped and daily heavier grew	A
Rises afresh to the soft showering south	N
She lifts her forehead to the sun anew	A
	-
And in her spirit a still fountain springs	U
Deeper than hunger faith crying for life	V
That to her eyes an inward clearness brings	U
And to her heart courage for any strife	V
