I. SUNRISE ABOVE BROAD WHEAT-FIELDS.

The pale tints of the twilight fields
Have turned into burnished gold,
For waves of yellow light have rolled
From the open'd east across the wealds;
While 'mid the wheat spires far behind
Stirs lazily the awaken'd wind.
A skylark high (a song made bird)
Sings as though God his singing heard.
