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
