I love to see the summer beaming forth (John Clare)


Em D F Em
I love to see the summer beaming forth
G D Am Em
And white wool sack clouds sailing to the north
G D Bm
I love to see the wild flowers come again
C G F
And mare blobs stain with gold the meadow drain

Em Am F#m Bm
And water lilies whiten on the floods
C# D A
Where reed clumps rustle like a wind shook wood
G F
Where from her hiding place the Moor Hen pushes
Em Am F#7
And seeks her flag nest floating in bull rushes

I like the willow leaning half way o’er
The clear deep lake to stand upon its shore
I love the hay grass when the flower head swings
To summer winds and insects happy wings

B7 C G
That sport about the meadow the bright day
F Am
And see bright beetles in the clear lake play
