THE NEW BORN DAY (By Selma Gordon) Down from the heights of the starry night, When the nebular hosts make their flight Where the silv'ry moonlight fades away Leaving 'the space for a new born day, Silently comes in the morn. Pale the skies that now are in view, Forming an arch o’er the morning dew, Making the path for the bright warm sun. Clearly we see that day has begun; We revel in joys of dawn. Brighter and brighter have grown the skies Radiant and lovely is the sunrise, Lighting the earth with a golden glow. Beaming with gladness that makes us know— This is the new born day. SGT.
