AFTER ALBERT CUYP by SILAS WEIR MITCHELL

First Line: A SUNSET SILENCE HOLDS THE PATIENT LAND
Last Line: THE BROAD, GREEN MEADOW GRASSES BRIGHT.
Subject(s): SUN;

A SUNSET silence holds the patient land;
Against the sun the stolid cattle stand;
Framed hazy, in the gold that slips
Between the sails of lazy ships,
And floods with level, yellow light
The broad, green meadow grasses bright.
