Pale moonlight, cold sphere
Silently sailing
Night’s skies, dark and clear.
Distant stars lighting
All that quietly sleeps,
Soon to be waking
When sunrise draws near –
The Great Orb rising.

Lovely discription of dawn. I just may have to get up early to see it.

2islander2: The "cold sphere" is the full Moon, the "Great Orb" is the Sun.

MarchMadness: Not dawn itself, but the hour or so just before the Sun rises.

Thank-you both for reading.
