SUNSET by JOHN W. BURTON

First Line: WITH MY BACK TO THE WESTERN SKY
Last Line: UNTIL THE MOON IS SPENT.
Subject(s): EVENING; SKY; SUNSET; TWILIGHT;

With my back to the western sky,
I see the setting sun reflected
In the distant window panes which
Mirror broad inferno flames;
The sun's last caught glory
Until the moon is spent.
