“The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done
Its very rude of him, she said,
To come and spoil the fun!”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion city of our God!
He, whose word cannot be broken, Formd for thee his own abode:
On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvations walls surrounded Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.”
—John Newton (17251807)
