AUTUMN SUNSET, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Evening and the clear sun
Last Line: Fair and foolish dreams.
Subject(s): Evening; London; Sunset; Twilight


EVENING and the clear sun
Slides down opal ways;
London like a crystal
Shines beneath my gaze.
Rosy, pearly, blue and brown,
Is the pale-washed sky;
Right and left, and up and down,
Gleaming roof-tops lie;
In the calm of autumn
All the city seems
A young giant dreaming
Fair and foolish dreams.
