Dawn
Language: English
The greenish sky glows up in misty reds, The purple shadows turn to brick and stone, The dreams wear thin, men turn upon their beds, And hear the milk-cart jangle by alone.
Confirmed with Sara Teasdale, Helen of Troy ; And Other Poems, New York and London : G. P. Putnam's sons, 1911, p. 90
