Dawn
by Paul Laurence Dunbar
An angel, robed in spotless white,
Bent down and kissed the sleeping night.
Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone.
Men saw the blush and called it dawn.
"Dawn" is part of Betty Jackson King's song grouping A Set of Three Dunbar Poems>.

Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone.
Men saw the blush and called it dawn.
