AN ABALONE SHELL, by GRACE MACGOWAN COOKE First Line: The sun went down in fog tonight Last Line: I hold the sunset in my hand. Subject(s): Evening; Sun; Sunset; Twilight | |||
THE sun went down in fog tonight, Dropped like a plummet in the bay; Only the East was faintly bright, While all the West was wide and gray. The glories from the sky are stripped, The long, smooth breakers meet the land, Foam-stricken, gray-green, sullen-lipped; I hold the sunset in my hand. | 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 |
