Come, Rising Sun Poem by Boston Kelley

Oh, rising sun, great is your majesty!
In the sky, you stand supreme bringing
your light to a dark world.
All life springs from you, for, without you
how could we know life?
Each morning, you herald the dawn, lighting
up the starry black night.
Each dawn, you signal the twilight, bringing
all to the land of dreams.
Come, rising sun, and shine upon our
blackened world!
Break through these chains of darkness that
hide the most gruesome evil.
No act goes unhidden from your sight
as all is revealed in your rays.
How sad it is that you leave us to let the night
come!
Night's darkness covers all, opening evil
to work its despicable plans.
Truth is found in your rays as no one can
deny what happens in your light.
Come, rising sun, and expose those who do
evil.
Bring relief to those who suffer under Night's
eye, for they bear the heaviest burdens.
Safety is not their companion under his watch,
for he lets evil roam free.
On the brightest day, you shine bright,
on the blackest night, we know not your might.
Come, rising sun, and bring the dawn, for
Night must pass.
