Thad, my apologies. The poem is called "Resolution and Independence," and
Pat, re Ruskin, it contains one of be prime examples of one of the big
things Rusking wrestles with in his troubled formulation of "the Pathetic
Fallacy," which 1856 essay I srongly recommend if you do not know it. It is
important, in part because Ruskin later repudiates it (in that Fors Cligera
piece, for instance).
The particular line is "The sky rejoices in the morning's birth. . . ."

cheers,
