THE TWO VISIONS by JOSEPH SKIPSEY

First Line: A GOLDEN SUN WENT DOWN TO-NIGHT
Last Line: NOT WITH THE GOLDEN SMILES AND TENDER.
Subject(s): SUN;
A golden sun went down to-night;
When lo! a vision from the olden
Time, flashed on my inner sight
With smiles more tender and as golden.

My blood ran cold; for I did know
Another dream of equal splendour
Would follow that; but not with — O!
Not with the golden smiles and tender.
