EVENING, by MELVILLE UPTON

Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight
First Line: Still is the pool, the evening still
Last Line: Splashing its colors on the flood.
Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight
Still is the pool, the evening still;
Above, the silent sky is spread,
The sunlight fades behind the hill,
Beneath the grass is sere and dead.
Shadows are resting in the stream
And somber pines are gathered there
And over the forest is the gleam
Of ghostly summits dim in air.
Among the darkling rift of trees
A trailing vine with rifts of blood
Wreathes its light tendrils in the breeze
Splashing its colors on the flood.
