Day - meaning Summary
Dawn as Violent Spectacle
The short lyric presents dawn as a violent, personified force. The rising sun is clothed in "blood and gold" and shown surrounded by weapons and "warlike fires," mixing natural imagery with images of battle. The poem compresses morning and conflict into a single spectacle, prompting readers to see the daybreak as aggressive, tumultuous, and charged with desire rather than peaceful renewal.
