Ye mariners, the night is gone."

And hurried landward far away,
Crying, "Awake! it is the day."

It said unto the forest, "Shout!
Hang all your leafy banners out!"

It touched the wood-bird's folded wing,
And said, "O bird, awake and sing."

And o'er the farms, "O chanticleer,
Your clarion blow; the day is near."

It whispered to the fields of corn,
"Bow down, and hail the coming morn."

It shouted through the belfry-tower,
"Awake, O bell! proclaim the hour."

It crossed the churchyard with a sigh,
And said, "Not yet! in quiet lie."​

Explanation:

The phrase 'leafy banner' means branches full of leaves.

The wind informs the sailors that it is night. The wind whispers in the corn fields and bows its heads to greet the coming morning as sunlight is the source of life for the fields' plants. This is how they are taken care of and nurtured. They should be thankful to the sun. So the wind asks them to bow their heads and express their gratitude. The bell announces the time of the hour.
