12 THE WHISPER Dawn The morning sun shines aglow, From behind the hill and low The hysteric cry of the loon asounds Through the dense mist that bounds, And slowly rises with a gentle wind. Ducks and grebes of many a kind, Quack and splash in distant marsh ; The gulls with voice ranging harsh, Climb the scale, quaver and fall. Terns with swallow tails, fall On the wary fish, dive and halt, Catching their prey without fault, Flap nervously upward and again, Fly and hover to repeat the same. The cricket in the dewy grass, Ticks slowly in its morning mass. The ’hopper goes singing past on wing, And the thrush starts to sing Its thrilling song, starting high, Coming down, halted by a sigh, To lower again, like a wirery song Sung in hollow barrel round. The hawk with its piercing cry Wheels to windward, rising high And rejoicing on its rabbit meals ; Floats on wing then reels and reels Upward to its airy vigil, To meditate upon its kill. The catbird in hawthorne bush, Whines between the song of the thrush, Alternately as if rightly planned. The bohemians with uneven band, Gather at rest on a cherry tree, Considering where the next move will be, The wild canary with twittering notes, Sings in its flight, then floats, To rise again, with closed wings, Uttering its song with a merry ring. So every bird with itself concerned, Awakens, its hazards to be learned ; A bird alone, a friend of none, Each this law they keep—and dumb. The sun is rising, the mist is clearing, Man and his works put in a showing. The mournful bark of a lonesome dog ; And cattle plunging around a bog. A thin blue cloud of smoke is seen, From the cottage across the green ; All starting the perpetual round Of another day, and each is bound To try again life’s joy and sorrow ; To prepare for the coming morrow, And the promise of a pleasant day, Counted by young as years away, Where there is eternal light, With Dawn supreme—and never night.
