The Sun Shines Warm On Lonely Streets
The sun shines warm on lonely streets
above a pale blue water-colour sky.
Clear water sings across the weir
and in the clear air, birds still fly.
Across the river in the school
no children play nor shout nor cry
but nature greens her trees and blooms
her flowers without a thought that we should spy
a life that, thus through seasons all continuing,
cares not if we deserve to live or die.
