First Line: Far in the gold-embroidered west
Last Line: Speeding the day's white soul.
Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight
FAR in the gold-embroidered west
The round and red sun lay,
Like a great wound upon the breast
Of the slow-dying day.
Night, and a murmur from the east;
I heard the wind's voice roll
Out of the dark, a solemn priest,
Speeding the day's white soul.
