A December sunset, County Kilkenny, Ireland

Irish Landscapes
Kilkenny
Nigel Borrington

To-night the west o’er-brims with warmest dyes;
Its chalice overflows
With pools of purple colouring the skies,
Aflood with gold and rose;
And some hot soul seems throbbing close to mine,
As sinks the sun within that world of wine.
