Be as the Sun oli runo, jonka välitti yksi Madame d’Espérancen henkioppaista, Felicia Owen.

Tällaisenaan se julkaistiin The Medium and Daybreak -lehdessä 8.10.1875, s. 642:

Be as the Sun

Runon kirjoittanut mediumistisesti rouva E. J. Reed, Newcastle-on-Tyne, elokuu 1874.

Be as the sun in the morning hour,

Ready and true at the time of need:

With the call of duty call forth thy power,

For the power that helpeth is power indeed.

Be as the sun on a cloudy day,

Seeking the flowers it cannot see;

Beam on the clouds that bar thy way,

Till brigtness [sic] breaks where shadows be.

Yes as the sun so calm and grand,

Sinking away to the silent west:

Leave what thou lov’st in the pleasant land,

Go like a hero down to rest.

Be as the sun in thy daily life,

Bring warmth and beauty wherever you tread;

Then thou shalt blossom in Paradise,

When men in their darkness call thee dead.
