At Sundown

"At Sundown" by John Greenleaf Whittier is a contemplative poem that explores the serene beauty and symbolic significance of the sunset. As the day transitions into night, the poem reflects on the passage of time and the inevitable cycle of life. Whittier uses the setting sun as a metaphor for life’s fleeting nature and the peaceful acceptance of life’s end. The poem captures a quiet, spiritual moment of reflection, inviting readers to embrace the idea of closure and the potential for renewal, just as day turns into night.
Whittier’s gentle yet profound meditation encourages readers to pause and consider the deeper meanings of time, nature, and the inevitable transitions in life.
"At Sundown"is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1892.
