I LOVE A SUNSET, by L. GEORGIA TATE First Line: Sell to you? Last Line: To find a loftier goal. | ||||||||
Sell to you? Your lordliest offer could ill repay The value to me that comes From this banner of parting day. Trade with you? There is nothing you have in money or might To exchange for the rapture As the rose-sky beckons the night. Share with you? My proudest possession, this sense of the soul That communes through the sunset To find a loftier goal. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LETTER TO A POLICEMAN IN KANSAS CITY by KENNETH PATCHEN ON THE PASSING OF THE LAST FIRE HORSE FROM MANHATTAN ISLAND by KENNETH SLADE ALLING PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 53.
