THE EVENING SUN WAS SINKING DOWN, by EMILY JANE BRONTE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Alternate Author Name(s): Bell, Ellis Subject(s): Evening; Sunset; Twilight | |||
The evening sun was sinking down āàOn low green hills and clustered trees; It was a scene as fair and lone āàAs ever felt the soothing breeze That cools the grass when day is gone, āàAnd gives the waves a brighter blue, And marks the soft white clouds sail on āàLike spirits of ethereal dew; Which all the morn had hovered o'er āàThe azure flowers where they were nursed, And now return to Heaven once more, āàWhere their bright glories shone at first. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN FEBRUARY EVENING IN NEW YORK by DENISE LEVERTOV THE HOUSE OF DUST: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON NINETEEN FORTY by NORMAN DUBIE |
