First Line: The sun was far beyond horizon's bar
Last Line: The blue empyrean forever and forever.
Subject(s): Night; Solitude; Stars; Bedtime; Loneliness
THE sun was far beyond horizon's bar,
And tinge of twilight, fading into night,
Ennobled there the distant azure deeps.
The evening star shone in the western sky,
And other orbs that twinkled in the gloom,
Were waiting for its setting in the sea,
To roam in the infinitudes of space.
And there in all the splendor of the night,
I saw the loneliness of God had toned
The blue empyrean forever and forever.
