O Spirit of the Summertime !
Bring back the noes to the dell+ ;
The swallow from her distant clime,
The honeybee from drowsy cells.
Bring back the friendship of the sun ;
The gilded evenings, calm and late,
When merry children homeward run,
And peeping stars bid lovers wait.
Bring bock the singing ; and the scent
Of meadowlands at dewy prime ;
0 being again my heart's content,
Thou Spirit of the Summertime !
W. A., in detairruin.
