Sunrise

Bright evidence to untrained eye
Perceived in sunrise mountain sky
And known in dimly knowing way
By senses waked to breaking day.

Long has this one with fresh delight
Displayed himself at shattered night.
And yet still wrapped in mystery
With treasured beauty none can see.

Save those of joyful choosing grace,
With wakened heart to seek his face.
He promises those hopeful spies
That they will see with earthstained eyes.

See dimly O bright treasure brief!
Seek with deep longing and belief.
He makes all other pleasures fade.
For such a glory I was made.
