A SUNSET, by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE Poet's Biography First Line: Far in the gold-embroidered west Last Line: Speeding the day's white soul. Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight | ||||||||
FAR in the gold-embroidered west The round and red sun lay, Like a great wound upon the breast Of the slow-dying day. Night, and a murmur from the east; I heard the wind's voice roll Out of the dark, a solemn priest, Speeding the day's white soul. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN FEBRUARY EVENING IN NEW YORK by DENISE LEVERTOV THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON NINETEEN FORTY by NORMAN DUBIE CITY ROOFS by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE |
