The Sun
by
John Drinkwater


Next
 

I told the Sun that I was glad,
I'm sure I don't know why;
Somehow the pleasant way he had
Of shining in the sky,
Just put a notion in my head
That wouldn't it be fun
If, walking on the hill, I said
"I'm happy" to the Sun.

Q4. How does Drinkwater evoke the sympathy of the reader for the vagabond?
