George Moses Horton - The Setting Sun

2014-11-10 3 Dailymotion

'Tis sweet to trace the setting sun <br />Wheel blushing down the west; <br />When his diurnal race is run, <br />The traveller stops the gloom to shun, <br />And lodge his bones to rest. <br /> <br />Far from the eye he sinks apace, <br />But still throws back his light <br />From oceans of resplendent grace, <br />Whence sleeping vesper paints her face, <br />And bids the sun good night. <br /> <br />To those hesperian fields by night <br />My thoughts in vision stray, <br />Like spirits stealing into light, <br />From gloom upon the wing of flight, <br />Soaring from time away. <br /> <br />Our eagle, with his pinions furl'd, <br />Takes his departing peep, <br />And hails the occidental world, <br />Swift round whose base the globes are whirl'd, <br />Whilst weary creatures sleep.<br /><br />George Moses Horton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-setting-sun-5/
