LONG before the postman comes The sun begins to rise, Far in the East if you should look You'd find it in the skies. At first it's just a streak of light Then all at once the world gets bright. Then in the sky from East to West The happy sun goes on its way, And all day long it shines its best To give us pleasant day. Dear God, who made the day and night, We thank Thee for the sun's good light. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NOCTURNE IN A MINOR KEY by CONRAD AIKEN ELEGY FOR AN ENEMY by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET CONTRA MORTEM: THE COMING OF SNOW by HAYDEN CARRUTH JASPER by DONALD (GRADY) DAVIDSON SYNOPSIS OF A FAILED POEM by JAMES GALVIN |
