3. KRAJINA.
Na prázdných polích dlouhé řad stromů
se kloní s bezlistými haluzemi,
vran zástup tmí se nad střechami domů
a s jejich křídel šero padá k zemi.
Kraj obzoru se náhle rudě vznítil —
plá oranžem, jenž pomalu se ztrácí.
Snad zlatý háv to anděla, jenž chytil
den v náruč svou a k nebi s ním se vrací.
3. LANDSCAPE.
On the bare fields the trees in straggling rows
Earthward their leafless branches have outspread:
The roofs are darkened by a flock of crows,
Dusk from their wings upon the world is shed.
The sky-line's fringe in sudden redness blazed, —
It gleams with orange hues that slowly die:
Haply, an angel's golden robe; he raised
Day in his arms, and bore it back on high.
