The Dream of the Rising Sun

From E4.7, The Dream Foretelling Mohammad. It illustrates E4.7.1–8:

E4.7.1
Before his death, one night, the monarch prayed;Before Yazdan his reverent praise was laid.
E4.7.2
His lucid spirit saw within a dreamA sun rise through the night with sudden gleam.
E4.7.3
A stairway rose through forty steps on high,Its summit reaching Saturn in the sky.
E4.7.4
From the Hijaz, in stately joy and light,That sun rose upward through the folds of night.
E4.7.5
It filled the world with brilliance, and its glowSpread Kaf to Kaf, and grief dissolved like snow.
E4.7.6
The farthest rims of earth, the nearest hills,Took luster from the light its glory spills.
E4.7.7
Light entered everywhere beneath the dome,Except the Shah’s own hall, still dark at home.
E4.7.8
The Shah rose from his sleep at midnight’s hour,Yet spoke to none about that dream of power.
