The Unequal Distribution of Sunset

The spires take a patchwork of blonds, 
The pavements, a not-so-shiny copper,
To the harbour go a few drops of bronze,  
Even clouds get but a listless amber,

Though when long day is growing old, 
The sun, parting, never forgets to rain 
On you, on no other, a splurge of gold.
