The Sun

When night covers the world
And leaves all in shadow,
The sun still shines.

When clouds envelop the sky
And flood the earth in rain,
The sun still shines.

When fog blankets the land
And shrouds the path ahead,
The sun still shines.

In dreary haze,
Raging storm
And blackest night,
The sun remains;
The sun awaits
For the fog to lift,
For clouds to give way,
For the earth to turn;
Then the eyes will survey

That the sun still shines.
