Taste a Victory

R-ise of the sun begins, 
U-sing its light by dawn; 
T-wilight has disappeared, 
H-aze is already gone.

D-ay two in March morn, dusk is nowhere in sight; 
E-vening shadows fade into the dark of the night.

M-ist passes from view, 
A-s the smoke leaves the air; 
T-he coal clouds in the sky
A-re turning white up there.

G-rab every opportunity, 
A-ct quickly but surely; 
D-eny the waste and haste
I-n order to taste a victory.
