The red eye of the sun took at last look over the earth
For it, could not, its gaze from it, avert
And then, with a final farewell it disappeared

Whilst some foolish people began to giggle and titter
In my heart of hearts, I felt very bitter
And was almost at the very end of my tether
Since the cause of their laughter, I thought , was absurd
They laughed at seeing me wonder on the mysteries of the earth…
