"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—

'It's very rude of him,' she said,
 * 'To come and spoil the fun!'

The sea was wet as wet could be,
 * The sands were dry as dry.

You could not see a cloud, because
 * No cloud was in the sky:

No birds were flying overhead—
 * There were no birds to fly.
