Dawn To Dusk Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

The eastern sky
Suffused with light.
New risen sun is climbing high.
Erasing shadows of the night.

From east to west.
The normal way.
The sun pursues his daily quest.
In the same way every day

As he has done
Since time began.
Our days are measured by the sun.
Whose rule applies to every man.

When morning breaks.
The sun will rise
And take the route he always takes
From east to west across the sky.

At journeys end.
The sun will set.
And shadows of the night descend.
An all embracing coverlet.
