A poem by Oliver Herford

G. K. Chesterton

________________________________________________
Title:     G. K. Chesterton
Author: Oliver Herford [More Titles by Herford]

When Plain Folk, such as you or I,
See the Sun sinking in the sky,
We think it is the Setting Sun,
But Mr. Gilbert Chesterton
Is not so easily misled.
He calmly stands upon his head,
And upside down obtains a new
And Chestertonian point of view,
Observing thus, how from his toes
The sun creeps nearer to his nose,
He cries with wonder and delight,
"How Grand the SUNRISE is to-night!"






[The end]
