GOOD-BYE, SUN.
Reading edition
Good-bye, pretty sun, good-bye! You are sinking behind the sea, But I know you’ll come back to-morrow To shine again upon me.
I know that, although you seem To be taking a bath out there, You are only gone to shine Upon other countries fair,
Where people like us live, Although they are far away: You shine upon girls and boys, And light them at their play.
And I hope that every day That I see the sun once more, He’ll find me a little wiser Than I was the day before.
