AN ACROSTIC: THE SUN by LUCRETIA MARIA DAVIDSON

First Line: DARTING HIS RAYS THE SUN NOW GLORIOUSLY RIDES
Last Line: NOR TILL GRAY TWILIGHT, AUGHT ABATE THY FORCE.
Subject(s): SUN;
Darting his rays the sun now glorious rides,
And from his path fell darkness quick divides;
Vapour dissolves and shrinks at his approach,
It dares not on his blazing path encroach;
Down droops the flow'ret, -- and his burning ray
Scorches the workmen o'er the new-mown hay.
Oh! lamp of Heav'n, pursue thy glorious course,
Nor till gray twilight, aught abate thy force.
