Classic and Contemporary Poetry
SUNSET, by HELEN BEAN BYERLY 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN FEBRUARY EVENING IN NEW YORK by DENISE LEVERTOV THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON NINETEEN FORTY by NORMAN DUBIE |
