William Allingham - After SunsetWilliam Allingham - After Sunset
Work rating:
Low
The vast and solemn company of clouds
Around the Sun`s death, lit, incarnadined,
Cool into ashy wan; as Night enshrouds
The level pasture, creeping up behind
Through voiceless vales, o`er lawn and purpled hill
And hazéd mead, her mystery to fulfil.
Cows low from far-off farms; the loitering wind
Sighs in the hedge, you hear it if you will,—
Tho` all the wood, alive atop with wings
Lifting and sinking through the leafy nooks,
Seethes with the clamour of a thousand rooks.
Now every sound at length is hush`d away.
These few are sacred moments. One more Day
Drops in the shadowy gulf of bygone things.
