A Winter Sunset
by Lord Alfred Douglas
The frosty sky, like a furnace burning,
The keen air, crisp and cold,
And a sunset that splashes the clouds with gold
But my heart to summer turning.
Come back, sweet summer ! come back again !
I hate the snow,
And the icy winds that the north lands blow,
And the fall of the frozen rain.
I hate the iron ground,
And the Christmas roses,
And the sickly day that dies when it closes,
With never a song or a sound.
Come back ! come back ! with your passionate heat
And glowing hazes,
And your sun that shines as a lover gazes,
And your day with the tired feet.

Lovely, the words and the image both!
I was so fortunate to enjoy such a beautiful sunset. Thank you so much.
This photo and the verses have made my day on our coldest day this year! Thanks Emily.
Yeah !! It certainly was bitter that day too. Now after the lovely warm day today, back to the freezing temperatures.
Just beautiful as is all your work.
