The skyline rose and took the sun
Dusk chased away the light
But the earth remembers day
Even through the night

The hills cry out for sunshine
The valleys thirst for rays
The long gold grass aches for
The lovely long gold days

The river’s water in the night
For the sun does pines
It finds itself so sad and dull
Where the sun once made it shine

Though the moon makes some light
It’s weak and can’t compare
Trees creak with the cold wind
Midnight chills the air

At dawn the light will rise again
And fill the dark meadows
But the night seems a long wait
For warmth to come and melt the snows
