I Heard The Day Song Clearer

I heard the day song clearer than the night.
I heard it o’er the distant autumn hills.
The hope of those who live to see the light;
Whose legs may tire, but whose steadfast wills

The day will live to see, the stream to ford.
The once held-down – the women and the men —
I heard the day song clearer than before:
For once awake, we shall not sleep
Again

  Thank you!
  
  My mother loved poetry, and we used to read it together when I was little. She had hours of it memorized. I think I got it from her.
  
  That and I wrote about 6,000 of them at my old blog. So I kept practicing.
