Lyric: Oscar Wilde

The sky is laced with fitful red
The circling mists and shadows flee

The dawn is rising from the sea
Like a white lady from her bed
Jagged brazen arrows fall
Athwart the feathers of the night

A long wave of yellow light
Breaks silently on tower and hall

Spreading wide across the wold
Wakes into flight some fluttering bird
All the chestnut tops are stirred
And branches streaked with gold

The dawn unfolds, the shadows flee
The world awakes in golden sea.
