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 NINETEEN FORTY by NORMAN DUBIE WE CAN'T WRITE OURSELVES INTO ETERNAL LIFE by DAVID IGNATOW ON THE WAY (PHILADELPHIA, 1794) by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON SONG, FR.
