At break of day
Language: English
At break of day fresh beauty gilds the bowers, And Phoebus joys at light's return; The birds sing love from nests amid the flowers. All things in nature with its gladness burn. At break of day oft times comes bitter sorrow, That night's dark hours should ever fade To burning swain who, with the opening morrow, Must leave his own beloved maid.
