Don Juan 02-183
Canto the Second

CLXXXIII

It was the cooling hour, just when the rounded
     Red sun sinks down behind the azure hill,
Which then seems as if the whole earth it bounded,
     Circling all nature, hush'd, and dim, and still,
With the far mountain-crescent half surrounded
     On one side, and the deep sea calm and chill
Upon the other, and the rosy sky,
With one star sparkling through it like an eye.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824) ByronLong
