THE SUN IS SETTING
THE SUN IS SETTING
THE SUN IS SETTING
The sun is settingMy crop is not yet harvested
My cattle are not yet home
My children have not yet come of age
The sun is setting
My workers are still bent at their labours
My soldiers are still scattered on the plain
The war is not yet ended
The struggle is not yet won
The sun is setting
My people haven’t crossed the river Jordan
The leaders have not yet signed the peace accord
The sun is setting
too quickly over my
horizon
When will it rise again?

THE SUN IS SETTING
The sun is settingMy crop is not yet harvested
My cattle are not yet home
My children have not yet come of age
The sun is setting
My workers are still bent at their labours
My soldiers are still scattered on the plain
The war is not yet ended
The struggle is not yet won
The sun is setting
My people haven’t crossed the river Jordan
The leaders have not yet signed the peace accord
The sun is setting

horizon
When will it rise again?
