For here is the Sun!

I think of long days at lawn-tennis,

Of dreams in my bass-wood canoe,

Of gondola-lounging at Venice,

And skies sempiternally blue!

I muse o'er the pleasures of playtime,

Of laziness, laughter, and fun;

Of lime-scented zephyrs and haytime—

But where is the Sun?

[Sun retires behind clouds, rain patters on the pane, and the Lazy One goes to bed.
