Dawn - meaning Summary
Triumphant Emergence of Dawn
The poem depicts dawn as a violent, joyous emergence. Birdsong and metallic sounds batter the empty sky, bringing color and warmth until a heavy sun lifts itself above the horizon. The language emphasizes movement, struggle, and final release as light breaks into openness. The scene ends in a sudden hush when the sun is fully risen, suggesting completion and a shift from energetic creation to calm presence.
Read Complete AnalysesEcstatic bird songs pound the hollow vastness of the sky with metallic clinkings-- beating color up into it at a far edge,--beating it, beating it with rising, triumphant ardor,-- stirring it into warmth, quickening in it a spreading change,-- bursting wildly against it as dividing the horizon, a heavy sun lifts himself--is lifted-- bit by bit above the edge of things,--runs free at last out into the open--!lumbering glorified in full release upward-- songs cease.
