SMmmnr DaYs,


In summer when the days were long,
We walked together in the wood;
Our belrt wis light, oar step was strong,
Sweet flutteriags were in our blood
In summer, when the days were long.
We strpyed from morn till evening came;
wsEatheted flowers and wove US crowns;
We Walked mid poppies red as flame
Or sat upon the yellow downs;
and always wished our life the same.
In summer when The days were long,
We sped the hcdge-row crossed the brook
And still her voice flowed forth in song,
Or else she read some graceful book,
In summer, when the days were long
And then We sat beneath the trees,
With shadows lcssening in the moon;
And in the sunlight and the breeze
We feastcd, many gorgeous June,
While larks were singing o'er the leas.
We loved, aud yet we knew it not
For loving seemed like breathing then
We found heaven in every spot;
Saw angelo, too in all good men,
And dreamed Of God in grove and grot
In summer, when The days are long
Alone | wander muse alone.
see her not; but TINT old song
Under the fragrant wind is blown,
in summer, when the days are lon
Alone | wander in the wood,
But one fair spirit hears my sghs;
And hat see so glad and good,
Tne honest daylight Of her eyes,
That charmed me under earlier skies.
In summer, when the days are long,
| love her as we loved Of old
My heart is light, my step is strong;
For love brings back those hours Of gold
