After Sunset
Arthur Symons
1865 to 1945
The sea lies quieted beneath
The after-sunset flush
That leaves upon the heaped grey clouds
The grape’s faint purple blush.
Pale, from a little space in heaven
Of delicate ivory,
The sickle-moon and one gold star
Look down upon the sea.
Arthur Symons's After Sunset
I am busy working to bring Arthur Symons's "After Sunset" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Arthur Symons's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "After Sunset" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
