Sunset
The beauty of the setting sun
‘Oh sky of fire!’ The promise, the wonder, The shepherd’s desire, neither hail nor thunder. Amber and ochre, The fairie’s lights, A Turner landscape that delights the eye. You and me, Our souls, in the dusk reposed, The glow of autumn love, in my heart enclosed. We share a moment, A second’s bliss Ere sulphur orb is by the land eclipsed We take the time, To drink in its light, No time to idle, so soon comes the night.
