A Sonnet in C Major

A Sonnet in C Major

Shall I draw a veil on the burnished sky-
Cover the oceans with endless grey mists
Banish the sun from where it burns and flies
So to ne'er let the Earth feel morning's kiss?

But what I do- you're still the brightest star
Bested all globes in far outlying space
Outshone by nothing be it near or far
With only your eyes and soft, tranquil face-

And even when the days draw to an end
When dying nights melt into fading dawns
When all time is lost, when all time is spent
The last of beauty swept away and gone...

You'll still be there, then as bright as before
Watching over above forevermore.
