John Bannister Tabb
1845-1909 / the United States
The Dawn-Burst
LIKE THIS POEM
Lo, now the dead volcano Night
In silence cold
Throbs; and the prisoned lava, long controlled,
Bursts forth in molten gold-
A torrent mightier far than rolled
From Ætna or Vesuvius of old,
Or ever prophet, on the sacred height
Of song, foretold.
