Suddenly I felt as I had lost a friend, my sunny bonny queen

This day, like Brigadoon, is lost though idyllic and serene

A charmed and charming day like that I fear again will never shine

That northern star which distant glows, has taken what is mine

So now I run on darkened roads lit solely by the moon

Begging time to lift the loads and ease the sunburn soon

Resigned to ordinary days, I toil without complaint

I had a day which few can boast, and loved without restraint.
