The rays of the sun, Shining straight at me, As it falls, to the southwest, A beautiful scene, a gift from nature, The most powerful, over the rest, Through leafless trees, two days before winter, Up high & alone, I can see many squirrelsβ nests. When out of my sight, the burning out star, Will still shine, bright, as we see the reflection, Off the moon and stars at night. As the big ball of fire grows closer, to the horizon, As for as, my eyes can see, looking out my window, It reminds me of a ship lowering its mast, out in the sea.
