Pagoda in the sunset

The old pier crowned with light

Watchers on the Promenade

As day gives way to night

Silver-grey the breakers

Beneath an orange band

Driven by an onshore breeze

Rolling to the land

The searchlight of the dipping sun

Tips the waves with fire

As it sinks past the hills of Wales

So swiftly to expire.
