The Sun Just Touched the Morning - meaning Summary
Morning's Brief Coronation
The poem personifies Morning as elated when the Sun first appears, believing his arrival will make her reign eternal and transform life into perpetual spring. As the Sun moves on, Morning’s brief exaltation collapses into a sense of loss and unmet expectation. The final image is of Morning reaching for a crown she cannot secure, suggesting the fragility of transient glory and the desire for lasting authority that reality refuses.
Read Complete AnalysesThe Sun just touched the Morning The Morning Happy thing Supposed that He had come to dwell And Life would all be Spring! She felt herself supremer A Raised Ethereal Thing! Henceforth for Her What Holiday! Meanwhile Her wheeling King Trailed slow along the Orchards His haughty spangled Hems Leaving a new necessity! The want of Diadems! The Morning fluttered staggered Felt feebly for Her Crown Her unanointed forehead Henceforth Her only One!
