A Song Of The Setting Sun

by Ernest Christopher Dowson

A song of the setting sun !

The sky in the west is red

And the day is all but done

While yonder up overhead

All too soon,

There rises so cold the cynic moon

A song of winter day

The wind of the north doth blow

From a sky that’s chill and gray,

On fields where no crops now grow

Fields long shorn

Of bearded barley and golden corn

A song of faded flower!

Twas flucked in the tender bud

And fair and fresh for an hour

In a lady’s hair it stood

Now ah ! Now

Faded it lies in the dust and low
