An Impression
Sky like smoked mother-o'-pearl,
Dim background for bare trees
That lift against it stained twig traceries:
Smoke wreaths that curl
Upward from carved stone chimneys silently—
Twilight time . . . nigh!
Dim background for bare trees
That lift against it stained twig traceries:
Smoke wreaths that curl
Upward from carved stone chimneys silently—
Twilight time . . . nigh!
Westward wide scarlet bars
Belting day's silvery waist—
And Eastward sable clouds interlaced . . .
So—night lifts nearer luminous with stars . . .
