Sunset at Wellfleet

A spit of sky, awash with Venetian gold

Hangs over the Congregational bell-tower, where

Last night the Northern Lights sifted their fire,

Shot through with the airless dark, romantic and cold.

The sun doesn't move, but suddenly is gone,

The cloudy tide goes out, and leaves a ring.

Easy to die: we knew it all along:

Knee-high to the dark as of old:

These words I tell you smoking in my eye:

The tree-frog is the tree-frog. The sky is the sky,

The rattling bay runs night and day I, I, I, Over and over, turning on itself: there, Where it curls on emptiness: there I sing.
