The Unseen Miracle

The Angel of the night when night was gone / High upon Heaven's ramparts, cried, "The Dawn!"

And wheeling worlds grew radiant with the one / And undiminished glory of the sun.

And Angel, Seraph, Saint and Cherubim / Raised to the morning their exultant hymn.

All Heaven thrilled anew to look upon / The great recurring miracle of dawn.

And in the little worlds beneath them -- men / Rose, yawned and ate and turned to toil again.
