SUNSET, by                    
First Line: The sky was flecked with clouds in vivid sheen
Last Line: Uplifts my drooping heart and makes it bold.
Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight


The sky was flecked with clouds in vivid sheen;
Low-lying in the west, a golden screen,
While overhead the lavender and rose
Were softly mingled there in after-glows.
Then darkness crept upon this pageant's flare;
The banished colors fled and left night there.
Now only memories are left to me
Of fading glories; hope of what may be,
When other sunsets flame in rose and gold,
Uplifts my drooping heart and makes it bold.
