THE ALLEYNIAN 708 | OUT OF THE ORDINARY
Abel Banfield Year10 As the skydrinks the sun CREATIVE WRITING
Let evening come, As the sky drinks the sun, With the glow on the field, As the day is sealed, Let evening come, As the sky drinks the sun, With the white house pink, The sky starts to sink, Let evening come, As the sky drinks the sun, As the last birds fly, Through the burning sky, Let evening come, As the sky drinks the sun, The haze settles on the lake, And night starts to break, Let evening come,
As the sky drinks the sun, And the colour is drained, The sky is stained, With heavy blackness and shade, From night’s dark blade, Let evening come, Laced with light, Against the house of white, That holds on against the night, As the sky drinks the sun, And the day cries ‘hold back!’, To stop night’s fatal attack, And the lighter shades of day, Flutter and give way, Till the gleam of the moon and stars, Line the sky with pearly bars, And the streets murk over with the light,
Of the flickering lamps that fight, The darkness of the sky at night, Let evening come, As the sky drinks the sun.
