SUNSET

By W. T. Block

Ever watch the setting sun,

Split in half by horizon?

Nature's gift for everyone

To wonder.

How I love to sit and view!

In ecstasy, my eyes pursue

Each glaring gleam of golden hue

As I ponder.

My cares subside before its rays

As there beside its throne I gaze

Its radiant smile completely stays

All sorrow.

In hope, I take my tasks in hand.

With joy, I grasp its promise grand,

To furnish me a starry night and

Fair tomorrow.
