EARLY at eve on Onchan Head, because Separation
The crimson lustre was upon the bay,
And much bright melody began to sway
Upward from gay pavilions, and there was
None there to speak with in the music's pause,
I sickened of the glory and turned away.
Oh, that red sun had sealed a perfect day
Had I but heard your low, sweet laugh's applause!
