Nature
Songs of the Sea Children: I think the sun when he turns at night
From The Oxford Book of Canadian Verse (1913)
Nature
I think the sun when he turns at night,
And lays his face against the seas,
Must have such thoughts as these.
I think the wind, when he wakes at dawn,
Must wonder, seeing hill by hill,
That they can sleep so still.
