An Evening
An Evening - meaning Summary
Love Ended at Dusk
The poem uses evening and sunset imagery to portray the quiet ending of a relationship or love. Sparse, elegiac lines compress a day’s close into a final, mournful moment. Distant hills and a lone evening star underscore emotional remoteness, while the short concluding lines turn natural decline into personal loss. The overall tone is restrained grief: acceptance of an ending with little spectacle or overt lamentation.
Read Complete AnalysesA sunset's mounded cloud; A diamond evening-star; Sad blue hills afar; Love in his shroud. Scarcely a tear to shed; Hardly a word to say; The end of a summer day; Sweet Love dead.
