Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGFGHEHE IJICKEKE LMLMJEGE| Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose | A |
| From out night's gray and cloudy sheath | B |
| Softly and still it grows and grows | A |
| Petal by petal leaf by leaf | C |
| Each sleep imprisoned creature breaks | D |
| Its dreamy fetters one by one | E |
| And love awakes and labor wakes | D |
| The morning comes before the sun | E |

| What is this message from the light | F |
| So fairer far than light can be | G |
| Youth stands a tiptoe eager bright | F |
| In haste the risen sun to see | G |
| Ah check thy lunging restless heart | H |
| Count the charmed moments as they run | E |
| It is life's best and fairest part | H |
| This morning hour before the sun | E |
| - | |
| When once thy day shall burst to flower | I |
| When once the sun shall climb the sky | J |
| And busy hour by busy hour | I |
| The urgent noontide draws anigh | C |
| When the long shadows creep abreast | K |
| To dim the happy task half done | E |
| Thou wilt recall this pause of rest | K |
| This morning hush before the sun | E |
| - | |
| To each one dawning and one dew | L |
| One fresh young hour is given by fate | M |
| One rose flush on the early blue | L |
| Be not impatient then but wait | M |
| Clasp the sweet peace on earth and sky | J |
| By midnight angels woven and spun | E |
| Better than day its prophecy | G |
| The morning comes before the sun | E |
