Now the golden summer time
Claims the notice of rhyme;
Winter now lies still and cold,
Hatchina storm for chill December
And beneath our skies OF gold,
We mus, winter still remember
So, a simple moral here,
Nothing can from notice smother;
Changing seasons best appear,
Each contrasting with the other.
Spring serenely glides away,
Yielding TO bright newcomer,
Fading into swift decay,
Meath the glowing sun OF Summer
Summer on the heels Of Spring,
As the sythe Of Time is flashing,
Comes, as with dancers fling,
Into sudden empire dashing.
Welcome be the seasons reign,
Welcome Summer once again.
Now The God of Light is glowing
In his majesty supreme,
Life and love and JOY be>towing,
Kissing Terra with his beam;
And beneath his burning face,
Mother Earth, with kindling fire,
Springs 10 meet the Suns embrace,
In delight of new desire.
Green things flying into birth,
Tell the rapture of the Earth!
Sunny, leafy, breezy June,
Welcome sings our simple tune;
Bid the green Earth TO rejoice,
Give the birds Of Summer voice,
CAN the buds and flowers forth,
Melt the ices of the North,
Ripen fruit OF sunny South,
For the eager, melting mouth;
Hasten in our Summers noon,
Merry, smiling, sunny June
