It rises up from the east
Before you start your morning feast.
Glowing high up in the sky
Getting hotter as time passes by.
Feel its warmth, a radiant heat
Casting shadows upon the street.
Opens flower buds up wide
A gracious nest for bees to hide.
And then it gives its very best
A final setting way out west.
