I see the beauty of your countenance,
As you slowly rise above the sea.
The splendour of your majestic rays;
Softly radiates in the early hours of day.
Though you hide behind the strips of cloud,
Your face is encircled in royal blue.
Such translucence is entrancing,
Oh sunrise over the sea!
You keep rising each passing hours of day.
The lofty sky holds you close to heaven.
Your cheery beams spread without end.
Your angelic halo shines all day.
It emits warmth to brighten my day.
Below the horizon, it is filtered with haze.
Reflections undeterred with glimmering wits.
Over the wavy surface of the water –
You look bedazzled!
Your glowing streams of wonder shine over the sea!
