NOVEMBER BY THE SEA———
Now in November nearer comes the sundown the abandoned heaven.
As the dark closes round him, he draws neareras if for our company.
At the base of the lower brainthe sun in me declines to his winter solsticeand darts a few gold raysback to the old year's sun across the sea.
A few gold rays thickening down to redas the sun of my soul is settingsetting fierce and undaunted, wintrybut setting, setting behind the sounding sea between my ribs.
The wide sea wins, and the dark,winter, and the great day-sun, and the sun in my soulsinks, sinks to setting and the winter solsticedownward, they race in declinemy sun, and the great gold sun.
