See, where the falling day In silence steals away, Behind the western hills withdrawn; Her fires are quench'd, her beauty fled, With blushes all her face o'erspread, As conscious she had ill fulfill'd The promise of the dawn! Another morning soon shall rise, Another day salute our eyes As smiling, and as fair as she, And make as many promises; But do not thou The tale believe, They're sisters all, And all deceive. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FINE DAY by KATHERINE MANSFIELD CONTRA MORTEM: THE WOMAN'S GENITALS by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE HILL ABOVE THE MINE by MALCOLM COWLEY PRIDE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON STREET-CRIES: 7.
