Poetry: Sunset in Paris

Where the Seine meets the sky, spilling over the edge of the horizon,
its waters become fiery in the molten sunset, flanked by the dark silhouettes of Paris' architectural treasures: Notre-Dame, the Louvre and the Musee D'Orsay.

As day turns to dusk and gives birth to the night,
the amber turns pearly and the river is lustrous with the moonbeams' glow.
