A SKETCH IN COLORS, by ARTHUR PETERSON Poet's Biography First Line: I walked along the road as night came down Last Line: Into one strong red line which rimmed the hill. Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight | |||
I walked along the road as night came down, A sunset dyed the sky upon my right, And on the left a round moon met my sight, Rising from out the earthly shadows brown. A bright, fair moon; a glittering, joyous moon: Which, as it lay upon the eastern sky, Seemed almost like the sun unto the eye, Shining so golden, Nature's greatest boon. The sunset on my right was beautiful! Well up in the sky a wash of faintest green; Below, a pale soft yellow could be seen, Which fed a band of orange deep and dull; And fields of rich vermilion darkened still Into one strong red line which rimmed the hill. | 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 A CLOUD FANCY by ARTHUR PETERSON |
