Arthur Henry Adams - Sunset.Arthur Henry Adams - Sunset.
Work rating: Low


WHAT horror lurked within the First Man`s brain As downward to the West the Sun-god stepped, And paused upon the hill-ridge, ere he leapt Headlong into the night! What cold, dumb pain He felt, as still he marked the twilight wane, And on the dragon Darkness crept and crept, While beating in his mind the question kept, "Is this Earth`s all? Can Day e`er come again?" And yet, last night, one watched with listless eyes The stricken Sun-god struggling in his gore, With wasting red bedabbled, unto whom Life`s joyous sun shall nevermore uprise: His dream of light has faded, gloried o`er; His night has come a night of endless gloom.
