Day and Night : A conversation
Night said to Day
Now the Winter has drawn
My time has come
For my darkness to unfurl
But Don’t worry Day
You will still have your turn
Don’t look so sad with your low
Timid light!
Yes, my time will come soon enough
When the spring arrives chirped Day
You’ll be put right, shorter nights
Will be everyone’s delight!
Night smiled, who said you are
Everyone’s delight, not to the Bat or the Owl
Or the Moon and the stars that twinkle
Yes but so much gets done when I am around,
Insisted Day, and my light provides so much warmth
Your Sun’s light, corrected Night,
But all need rest and a time for sweet dreams
Face it, Day, you need me just as much to have a break!
Well we can argue ‘til the clocks go forward and back
And all through the months on a calendar
We’ll be dancing together through the seasons
Let’s come together for a quiet nightcap!
At twilight, said Day with a yawn,
I’ll see you again Night just before Dawn.
Rest well ’til then my partner in Light!
