“Now the gold goes trickling out of the sunset” by Arnold James

"I"
Now the gold goes trickling out of the sunset,
Leaving blue and the deep slumbering red :
(Beautiful, calm in accomplishment, but dead).

Dark green leaves dance over the deepening sky
And silver starlight, dreamingly tranquil
(But still as Death, now the gold has gone, so still)
