SONNET.

[It is a tender yet triumphant hour!]

It is a tender yet triumphant hour!
Most glorious Morning! How thy deepening rays
Promise the loveliest, brightest of all days!
And, Oh! that promise is as full of power
As its fulfilment can be, when a shower
Of dazzling splendours sets proud Noon ablaze,
And beams the full-blown Day upon the gaze,
And golden glow the Stream, the Bank, the Flower!
Sparkling with Dew, like rich Stars turned to Tears!
Shines all the Ground's bright surface tremblingly!—
How soft and yet how vivid all appears!—
Most glorious Morning, o'er Parthenope,
Thou shed'st a charm that e'en still more endears,
Lending her more and more of witchery!

Naples.
