First Line: The sea lies quieted beneath
Last Line: Look down upon the sea.
Subject(s): Dieppe, France; Evening; Sunset; Twilight
The sea lies quieted beneath
The after-sunset flush
That leaves upon the heaped grey clouds
The grape's faint purple blush.
Pale, from a little space in heaven
Of delicate ivory,
The sickle-moon and one gold star
Look down upon the sea.
