Sun In the North

 

 

The sun in the North is a temporary guest
Who brings with him much warmth and light when he comes

For a few precious months every year he keeps
Us company through night and day
He makes trees green

He makes flowers bloom
He makes birds sing

And makes every human smile

And when he has gone we miss him
Like an old friend that has gone away
Just a dear and beloved memory

After his leavetaking all disappears
Leaves falling down

Birds fly away
Flowers all wither and die

And as winter roars we begin to fear
That he never will come here again
But then one fair day he is here

For the sun in the North is a temporary guest
Who brings with him much warmth and light when he comes
