WHAT IS DAY WITHOUT THE SUN?
Reading edition
What is day without the sun? The night without the stars? Ocean’s music would not run, Without the sandy bars! Summer days without a rose— A fruitless Autumn would Make the year a time of woes— Like Spring without a bud. What am I without my mate? Without her bonny face? A wanderer disconsolate— A being out of place. She is sun and stars to me— The Spring, and Summer too; Autumn’s fruit her love will be, To sweeten all I do!
