Subject(s): Evening; New York City; Sunset; Twilight; Manhattan; New York, New York; The Big Apple
ACROSS the roof-tops of the town
I saw the flaming sun go down;
For some, another day of tears
Lay buried in the hurrying years.
The shadows folded; here and there
A yellow light began to flare.
For some, another golden day
Of gladness sped upon its way.
