Like the night The troubles of the day All but out of sight ”I wish I may, I wish I might,” She cries and then The sun is coming up again.
She flies in glory
On the wind Her flag of love is fluttering She planted it on a hope and dream And lost it to another’s scheme Or so she thought, or so it seemed But the sun is coming up again.
She glides in glory
like the shell The boy in the boat He steers so well Skims the surface, the waters swell There’s not a moment left to kill For the sun is coming up again.
She sits in glory
Statuesque I think is what describes her best Bronze and silver stand the test Of man’s unkind forgetfulness A true heart aches beneath her breast For the sun to come up again
She lies in glory
in fields of gold A moonless night, a tale untold Like Barley waving in the wind For sunrise to come ‘round again Absolve her of her mortal sin The sun will surely rise again! The sun will surely rise again.
Psalm 30:5
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
