ReveilleWake: the silver dusk returning Up the beach of darkness brims, And the ship of sunrise burning Strands upon the eastern rims.Wake: the vaulted shadow shatters, Trampled to the floor it spanned, And the tent of night in tatters Straws the sky-pavilioned land.Up, lad, up, ’tis late for lying: Hear the drums of morning play; Hark, the empty highways crying “Who’ll beyond the hills away?“Towns and countries woo together, Forelands beacon, belfries call; Never lad that trod on leather Lived to feast his heart with all.Up, lad: thews that lie and cumber Sunlit pallets never thrive; Morns abed and daylight slumber Were not meant for man alive.Clay lies still, but blood’s a rover; Breath’s a ware that will not keep Up, lad: when the journey’s over There’ll be time enough to sleep.
