Before the Dawn
O silent hush before the dawn!When streams and brooks announce the sun;"He comes!" they babble to the stones,And waking flowers nod, "He comes".
He comes at break of trembling morn,A mighty spirit of the light,Glorious and infinite,And waning night proclaims, "He comes".



The Perfect Four
In the dark East appears a golden sea,And spreads across the heavens in its light;Dispels the gloomy phantoms of the night,And gives a glimpse of earth's divinity.
