As the sun sets over Eigg

 

 

The evening comes to fold away the day

And pack up all the glories of the sun

The soft sky blue is slowly washed away

And threads of magic  gold are slowly spun

    The rock-strewn sea becomes a table top

    And mountains wreath themselves in glided clouds

    The World beyond the scene is at a stop

    A million years or more away from crowds

Before the night can occupy the sky

And spread her jewels upon the velvet sheet

The sun presents a tribute to the eye

In beauty such as this we are complete

    In Hebridean sunsets such as this

    The artist give the world a glimpse of bliss
