How Good Is The Sun

How good is the sun--

This March sun gracing the earth.

How good is this earth accepting

The slanting rays,

Swallowing, absorbing into its oceans and forests

Each slanting ray coming forth, and

Earth’s fields and meadows, cities and hamlets,

Swallowing, absorbing each slanting ray

This March sun at this moment

Is making its mark upon this March earth--

Gracing forest, ocean, field, and meadow

With its slanting rays.
