Her substance, softly enveloped in cool beams of moonlight
And her bosom, the mountains, are clad in a misty gray negligee
While sleeping Earth's partial body is subdued by darkness of night
Quietly resting as she waits for nocturnal shadows to pass away.

The Sun once again approaches her, this bright and eager one
To resume his place at his precisely appointed time of duty
Knowing it is the moment for night's darkness to be done
So human eyes can experience Earth's unrivaled beauty.

The Sun embraces her drowsy body with experienced rays
Gently nudging her with subdued first light without fail
And then with bold and bright light in a splendid blaze
He deftly removes Earth's mysterious, dark and vaporous veil
Awakening her essence, that of her cool and sleeping clay
So that Sun and Earth's unity give mankind yet another day.
