SUNRISE Apollo, the sun-god, was rising, out of' the ocean wave, Charioteer of the sunlight, guide of the morning rays. The dawning gates were opening, the horses were swiftly led, Prancing, champing, and anxious, into their places ahead. Four magnificent stallions, impatient, eager to fiy, Eager to guide the blazing sun, to illumine the darkened sky, Apollo springs to the chariot, gathers the reins in his hand, And 'round his glorious forehead, streams the light from a golden band. The gates of dawning are open, the trumpets of morning resound, Thro' the Olympian portals, the chariot comes with a boundg It flies o'er the cloudless heaven, while ahead in solemn array, The conquered goddess of midnight is swiftly fading away. -ARABELLA FRY 110
