First Line: Heart of the sunset sky
Last Line: Living again in thy life and thy light.
Subject(s): Night; Rest; Sleep; Bedtime
HEART of the sunset sky—
Sleeping so quietly,
Flushed with the pinkness of sleep and of rest.
Heart of the sleeping sky—
Throbbing with ecstasy—
Pulsing the pink through the breast of the west.
Soul of the dying sky—
Dying so quietly,
Melting and merging in shadows of night.
Soul of the dying sky,
Dying—yet gloriously,
Living again in thy life and thy light.
