A SUNSET by ROBERT LOVEMAN

First Line: THE SUN, DEPARTING, KISSED THE SUMMER SKY
Last Line: AND, LO! HER BLUSHES CRIMSON ALL THE WEST.
Subject(s): EVENING; SUNSET; TWILIGHT;

THE Sun, departing, kissed the summer Sky,
Then bent an instant o'er her beating breast;
She lifts to him a timid, tear-stained eye,
And, lo! her blushes crimson all the west.
