The Earth has turned its back upon
The ever-shining sun,
And we accept the light has gone
And darkness has begun;
For darkness is as much a part
Of life as sunny light,
And there’s no point in losing heart
At being faced with night.
But sadness doesn’t make the list
Of Things We Like to Feel,
And yet, because it does exist,
It’s real as joy is real.
It’s nothing that we can’t accept;
It can’t be either lost or kept.
