Landscape

ON Earthward their leafless branches have outspreadthe bare fields the trees in straggling rows
Earthward their leafless branches have outspread:
The roofs are darkened by a flock of crows,
Dusk from their wings upon the world is shed.

The sky-line’s fringe in sudden redness blazed,—
It gleams with orange hues that slowly die:
Haply, an angel’s golden robe; he raised
Day in his arms, and bore it back on high.
A Year in the South (1878)
