On the Hills of Dawn

Alexander Posey

Behold, the morning-glory’s sky-blue cup

Is mine wherewith to drink the nectar up

That morning spills of silver dew,

And song upon the winds that woo

And sigh their vows

Among the boughs!

Behold, I’m rich in diamonds rare,

And pearls, and breathe a golden air;

My room is filled with shattered beams

Of light; my life is one of dreams,

In my hut on

The hills of dawn.
