Phillis Wheatley compares the human heart in "an hymn to the evening" to the setting sun.

Phillis Wheatley was the first published African-American female poet. who was bought as a slave at the age of 12 by the Wheatleys's. She was educated by the Wheatley's and later on she was set free by them when they saw her talent as a poetess.
