Sunlight


Sunlight

 

by Felix Chadwick-Histed 

 

Oh bright sunlight shining there,

Dribbling ice creams, crashing waves

Children laughing, men departing

Colours breaking, confections making

The holiday before us

 

Oh bright sunlight shining there,

The dew, the grass, the concealing far

Heather boldly, marching coldly

The homeland harsh,

Ever last

 

Oh bright sunlight shining there,

Hustle, bustle, crowding rustle

Inside the city muscle

Fumes, smoke and quiet seclusion

Now see nature smitten down

 

Oh bright sunlight shining where?

Where is my beloved?

Oh colour coveted.

Given soon to the advancing dark

Reality gone, now dreams dark
