Question

read the poem and identify two examples of personification.
the dawns awake
by otto leland bohanan
the dawns awake!
a flash of smoldering flame and fire
ignites the east. then, higher, higher,
oer all the sky so gray, forlorn,
the torch of gold is borne.
the dawns awake!
the dawn of a thousand dreams and thrills
and music singing in the hills
a paean of eternal spring
voices the new awakening
the dawns awake!
whispers of pent - up harmonies,
with the mingled fragrance of the trees,
faint snatches of half - forgotten song—
fathers! torn and numb, —
the boon of light we craved, awaited long,
has come, has come!
