Sunset: St. Louis Annotated

Hushed in the smoky haze of summer sunset,
When I came home again from far-off places,
How many times I saw my western city
&nbsp Dream by her river.

Then for an hour the water wore a mantle
Of tawny gold and mauve and misted turquoise
Under the tall and darkened arches bearing
&nbsp Gray, high-flung bridges.

Against the sunset, water-towers and steeples
Flickered with fire up the slope to westward,
And old warehouses poured their purple shadows
&nbsp Across the levee.

High over them the black train swept with thunder,
Cleaving the city, leaving far beneath it
Wharf-boats moored beside the old side-wheelers
&nbsp Resting in twilight.
