766 SUN
She stood breast-high amid the corn,
Clasp'd by the golden light of morn,
Like the sweetheart of the sun,
Who many a glowing kiss had won.
The great duties of life are written with a
sunbeam.

Whence are thy beams, O sun! thy everlasting light? Thou comest forth, in thy awful
beauty; the stars hide themselves in the sky;
the moon, cold and pale, sinks in the western
wave. But thou, thyself, movest alone.

And see—the Sun himself!—on wings
Of glory up the East he springs.
Angel of Light! who from the time
Those heavens began their march sublime,
Hath first of all the starry choir
Trod in his Maker's steps of fire!
Moore—LaHa Rookh. The Fire Worshippers.
As sunshine, broken in the rill,
Though turn'd astray, is sunshine still!
Moore—Lalla Rookh. The Fire Worshippers.
Blest power of sunshine!—genial day,
What balm, what life is in thy ray!
To feel there is such real bliss,
That had the world no joy but this,
To sit in sunshine calm and sweet,—
SUN
It were a world too exquisite
For man to leave it for the gloom,
The deep, cold shadow, of the tomb.
Moore—Lalla Rookh. The Fire Worshippers.

| text = <poem>And the sun had on a crown
Wrought of gilded thistledown,
And a scarf of velvet vapor
And a raveled rainbow gown;
And his tinsel-tangled hair
Tossed and lost upon the air
Was glossier and flossier
Than any anywhere.
James Whitcomb Riley—The South Wind and
the Sun.
It's hame, and it's hame, and it's hame we fain
would be,
Though the cloud is in the lift and. the wind is
on the lea;
For the sun through the mirk blinks blithe on
mine e'e,
Says, "I'll shine on ye yet in your ain countrie."
Scott—Fortunes of Nigel. Ch.XXXl. Probably quoted.
When the sun shines let foolish gnats make sport,
But creep in crannies when he hides his beams.
