THE LAND
THAT THE SUN FORSOOK

By Josie Whitehead

The Land That the Sun Forsook

Over the hills and a long way away
     Is the land of eternal rain.
The sun, out of spite, has vacated this place
     As it left on the plane to Spain.

​

Both sodden and soggy the wetlands thrive
      For it's raining both night and day,
And sadly for children who live in this place,
      There's nowhere outside they can play.

​

Rain pitters and patters on window and roof
     And the birds never sing any more.
It splishes and splashes and sploshes again
     On the roads outside everyone's door.

​

The rivers run fast and the waterfalls sing
     To the tune of the endless stream.
The warmth of the sun on a soft golden beach
      Must surely be part of a dream.
