SONG BEFORE NIGHT by RICHARD DEHMEL

First Line: IN THE VAST GLOW OF SUN AT EVENING
Last Line: IN THE VAST GLOW OF SUN AT EVENING.

In the vast glow of sun at evening
shudders the sea; slow mounts the flood.
In the vast glow of sun at evening
my pulses with that splendor thud.
In the vast glow of sun at evening
with fiercer fires roars my blood:
still mounts the flood—
in the vast glow of sun at evening.
