A DAY - I'll tell you how the sun rose
I'll tell you how the sun rose, -- / A ribbon at a time.
To lose one's faith surpasses
The loss of an estate,
Because estates can be
Replenished, -- faith cannot.
Inherited with life,
Belief but once can be;
Annihilate a single clause,
And Being's beggary.
I'll tell you how the sun rose, -- / A ribbon at a time.
Just lost when I was saved! / Just felt the world go by!
As imperceptibly as grief / The summer lapsed away, --
There is a word / Which bears a sword
