Songs of the Sea Children: LIII. ‘I think the sun, when he turns at night’

Bliss Carman (1861–1929)

I THINK the sun, when he turns at night

And lays his face against the sea’s,

Must have such thoughts as these.

I think the wind, when he wakes at dawn,

Must wonder, seeing hill by hill,

That they can sleep so still.
