The Sun, Whose Rays Are All Ablaze

For the August 1st Solar Eclipse.

The day before my birthday.

The sun, whose rays //Are all ablaze With ever-living glory // Does not deny His majesty // He scorns to tell a story! // He don't exclaim // "I blush for shame // So kindly be indulgent."But, fierce and bold //In fiery gold // He glories all effulgent!
I mean to rule the earth // As he the sky —We really know our worth // The sun and I!

I mean to rule the earth // As he the sky —We really know our worth // The sun and I!

Observe his flame // That placid dame // The moon's Celestial Highness // There's not a trace // Upon her face // Of diffidence or shyness // She borrows light // That, through the night // Mankind may all acclaim her // And, truth to tell // She lights up well // So I, for one, don't blame her!
Ah, pray make no mistake // We are not shy // We're very wide awake // The moon and I!Ah // pray make no mistake // We are not shy // We're very wide awake // The moon and I!
