Song of the Night at Daybreak is a collection of poems by Alice Meynell, a Victorian poet and essayist. The poems explore themes of love, nature, and mortality, and are written in a lyrical, romantic style. The collection is divided into three sections: “The Night,” “The Day,” and “The Dawn.” In the first section, Meynell writes about the beauty of the night, and the peace and stillness it brings. In the second section, she writes about the joys of the day, and the beauty of nature. In the third section, she writes about the transition from night to day, and the hope and promise of a new day. Throughout the collection, Meynell’s poems are filled with imagery and emotion, and her words evoke a sense of wonder and awe.
