The Sun In the North

The sun in the North is a temporary guest
Who brings with him much warmth and light when he comes

For a few precious months every year he keeps
Us company through night and day
He makes the trees green

He makes flowers bloom
He makes the birds sing

And makes us humans smile

And when he has gone we miss him
Like an old friend that has left us
Just a dear and beloved memory

After his leavetaking all disappears
Leaves falling down

Birds fly away
Flowers all wither and die

And as winter roars we begin to fear
That he never will come here again
But then one pretty day he is here

For the sun in the North is a temporary guest
Who brings with him much warmth and light when he comes
