(19 August 1887 – 31 July 1917 / Janeville, Slane)

poet Francis Ledwidge
What do you think this poem is about?

Dawn

Quiet miles of golden sky,
And in my heart a sudden flower.
I want to clap my hands and cry
For Beauty in her secret bower.

Quiet golden miles of dawn—
Smiling all the East along ;
And in my heart nigh fully blown,
A little rose-bud of a song.
