She is the light of the sky,
She’s the most superior of all celestial bodies,
She heralds a new day,
Dawn calls her out of her chamber,
Her glory fills the sky,
It transcends to the world beneath,
We bask in the fullness of her light,
We play and have fun,
She retreats to her chamber at dusk,
Sometimes she hides behind the clouds,
Sometimes she’s cloaked by the elements,
We earnestly await her return,
We welcome her comeback.
