Blue Mountain Sunsets (Words by Henry Lawson)

August 21, 2017

Written by:

Now in the west the colours change,

The blue with crimson blending;

Sunset viewed from Mount Victoria looking over the Hartley Valley

Behind the far Dividing Range,

The sun is fast descending.

Sunset viewed from Mitchell’s Lookout, Mount Victoria

And mellowed day comes o’er the place,

And softens ragged edges;

Sunset in the Hartley Valley

The rising moon’s great placid face

Looks gravely o’er the ledges.

Sunset in Main Street, Lithgow

Excerpt from The Blue Mountains by Henry Lawson

I’ve been enjoying the beautiful sunsets lately. Their colours are so pastel, like a Renaissance painting.

  They are lovely moments, quite magical in their way. And your description is just right!
