The Sun Whose Rays Songtext
von Veda Hille

The sun, whose rays are all ablaze with ever-living glory
Does not deny his majesty, he scorns to tell a story
He don′t exclaim, "I blush for shame, so kindly be indulgent."
But, fierce and bold, in fiery bold
He glories all effulgent

I mean to rule the Earth, as he the sky
We really know our worth, the sun and I
I mean to rule the Earth as he the sky
We really know our worth, the sun and I


Observe his flame, that placid dame
The moon's Celestial Highness
There′s not a trace upon her face of diffidence or shyness
She borrows light, that through the night, mankind may all acclaim her
But, truth to tell, she lights up well, so I for one don't blame her

Ah, pray make no mistake, we are not shy
We're very wide awake, the moon and I
Ah, pray make no mistake, we are not shy
We′re very wide awake
The moon and I
