There's Nothing Like the Sun (Edward Thomas)


G D Am7
There's nothing like the sun as the year dies,
G D Am7
Kind as it can be, this world being made so,
D Am D Am
To stones and men and beasts and birds and flies,
C G Am7
To all things that it touches except snow,

Whether on mountain side or street of town.
The south wall warms me: November has begun,
Yet never shone the sun as fair as now
While the sweet last-left damsons from the bough
C G B7
With spangles of the morning's storm drop down
C G Em Am
Because the starling shakes it, whistling what
G Am C D
Once swallows sang. But I have not forgot
E Am G Am
That there is nothing, too, like March's sun,

Like April's, or July's, or June's, or May's,
Or January's, or February's, great days:
And August, September, October, and December
Have equal days, all different from November.
No day of any month but I have said --
Or, if I could live long enough, should say --
"There's nothing like the sun that shines today."
There's nothing like the sun till we are dead.

Edward Thomas
