I LOVE A SUNSET, by                    
First Line: Sell to you?
Last Line: To find a loftier goal.


Sell to you?
Your lordliest offer could ill repay
The value to me that comes
From this banner of parting day.

Trade with you?
There is nothing you have in money or might
To exchange for the rapture
As the rose-sky beckons the night.

Share with you?
My proudest possession, this sense of the soul
That communes through the sunset
To find a loftier goal.
