A Prairie Sunset

Title:     A Prairie Sunset
Author: Walt Whitman [More Titles by Whitman]

Shot gold, maroon and violet, dazzling silver, emerald, fawn,

The earth's whole amplitude and Nature's multiform power consign'd for once to colors;

The light, the general air possess'd by them--colors till now unknown,

No limit, confine--not the Western sky alone--the high meridian--North, South, all,

Pure luminous color fighting the silent shadows to the last.

[The end]
Walt Whitman's poem: Prairie Sunset
