First Line: Sunset worn to its last vermilion he
Last Line: One. More one than the bridally embraced.
Subject(s): Evening; Evening Star; Love - Nature Of; Sunset; Twilight
SUNSET worn to its last vermilion he;
She that star overhead in slow descent:
That white star with the front of angel she;
He undone in his rays of glory spent.
Halo, fair as the bow-shot at his rise,
He casts round her, and knows his hour of rest
Incomplete, were the light for which he dies
Less like joy of the dove that wings to nest.
Lustrous momently, near on earth she sinks;
Life's full throb over breathless and abased:
Yet stand they, though impalpable the links,
One. more one than the bridally embraced.
