I long for shadowy founts, where the birds twitter and chirp at noon from every tree; I long for blossomed leaves and lowing herds; And Nature's voices say in mystic words, " The green fields wait for thee."
And the sun's not out today, but if you sit here at noon when it's a sunny day, you can get the sun on your body and the shade would be perfectly on your face.
Solar days use the sun as a reference point for when " noon" is, but the length of time between when the sun is highest isn't constant - it changes up or down by a minute over the course of the year.
