A VENETIAN SUNSET: BEFORE A CHANGE (RETURNING FROM TORCELLO), by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: In violet hues each dome and spire
Last Line: Fan-like, from venice to the skies.
Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona
Subject(s): Evening; Sea; Venice, Italy; Sunset; Twilight; Ocean


In violet hues each dome and spire
Stands outlined against flawless rose;
O'er this a carmine ocean flows
Streak'd with pure gold and amber fire;
And through the sea of sundown mist
Float isles of melted amethyst:

Storm-portents, saffron streamers rise;
Fan-like, from Venice to the skies.
