Madison Julius Cawein 1865- ? John Bartlett

 
1
    At daybreak Morn shall come to me
In raiment of the white winds spun.
          Quiet.
2
    Some shall reap that never sow
And some shall toil and not attain.
          Success.
3
    A moonlight traveler in Fancy’s land.
          Unqualified.
4
    Into the sunset’s turquoise marge
The moon dips, like a pearly barge;
Enchantment sails through magic seas,
To fairyland Hesperides,
  Over the hills and away.
          At Sunset. Stanza 1.
5
    What magic shall solve us the secret
Of beauty that’s born for an hour?
          Interpreted.
