AT SUNSET, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I've seen the moon, with lifted wing
Last Line: To me, remembering tennessee.
Alternate Author Name(s): Sinjohn, John
Subject(s): Tennessee


I'VE seen the moon, with lifted wing,
A white hawk -- over a cypress tree;
The lover's star, the bloom of Spring,
And evening folded on Tennessee.

I've seen the little streams run down --
All smoke-blue, lost in faerie;
And, far, the violet mountains crown
The darkness breathing on Tennessee.

I've seen the beautiful, so clear --
And it has gone to the heart of me;
So there'll be magic ever near
To me, remembering Tennessee.
