The Sun (pantoum)

It heats the world and gives creation life,

Without it only desolation would live,

There would be no time,

No time but night.

Without it only desolation would live

There would be nothing

No time but night

No sound, and no sight.

There would be nothing

Not even a motion

No sound, and no sight

All that would be is the darkness of night.

Not even a motion

Only the silence of calmness

All that would be is the darkness of night

It heats the world and gives creation life.
