Silly Sun
Oh silly Sun! How can you shine
As if it was a day?
Aren't you aware - a friend of mine
Is miles and miles away.
How could you lose your track of time
On your enlighted way?
Across the ocean it is nine
Or later, I would say.
So, silly Sun, step out of sight
And let me bid good-night, I pray!
