Ample Is the Rising Sun

Ample is the rising sun
That alights the furthest mountain –
A carmine drape upon every hill –
Exciting the birds to warble. 

Ample, too, is the evening sun
That paints a nebulous curtain – 
Quickly changing the palette until
Bringing the good day to shutter.

"evening sun That paints a nebulous curtain – Quickly changing the palette until Bringing the good day to shutter." Terrific imagery. Lovely, expressive poetry.
