by Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
On the sun coming out in the afternoon
Language: English
Methinks all things have traveled since you shined, But only Time and clouds, Time's team, have moved ; Again foul weather shall not change my mind, But in the shade I will believe what in the sun I loved.
