When the Sun Sets For You

Daily, the sun sets And the set, the ambiance Dimmer and darker gets Losing all its radiance Every so often too Our lives’ suns set In a season undue Our hopes, with gloom beset To this, we are helpless This’ nature’s ordinance The roster for more and less Demanding obeisance For every session of secular joy Our days of gay and bloom Could fade, and then cloy Dwindling to misery and gloom We find too that friends are away Therefore, we sorrow alone Too bad for a rainy day How far hath delight flown! But as the nights come To save us from much labor With sleep our beings to reform Lest we struggle and bore So do our lives’ suns hide To make for a time of quiet Lest we bloat with pride While underachievers yet If the sun sets and hopes, tend to fade Sit still and enjoy the shade Perhaps tis shining on the land yonder Drying the flood of a rainstorm, do not despair
