A WINTER SUNSET
1 I saw the sun go sinking away, Down and down at the close of to-day. Away in the West in a nest of cloud, Like fairy birds in a fairy crowd. ! And as it sank the hills below, , I felt so sorry to see him go! I waved my hand and said “Goodnight.” And then came a burst of bright pink light. The little white clouds turned rosyred, As the sun sped away to go to bed. And as I turned to homeward go,
1 There in the East was another pink glow; : And that did cause me much surprise, For there cannot be sunset and sunrise! But there in the East were little pink clouds, Shining brightly, crowds and crowds. Naughty little Imps! They seemed to say, “We are out too early! Out to play!” I hope Old Sol was gone too low To see that pretty little morning glow; If those little pink clouds aren’t put to bed We may get a rainy day instead!
