SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 1 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: THERE IS A WISE MAGICIAN
Last Line: MY HEART IS HAPPY ON.
Subject(s): SUN;
There is a wise Magician,
Who sets a yellow star
To seal the cinders of the night
Within a hollow jar.
And when the jar is broken,
A marvel has been done;
There lies within the rosy dusk
That coal we call the sun.
But more than any wonder
That makes the rose of dawn,
Is this inheritance of joy
My heart is happy on.
