In the month Of June when the world is green,
When the dew beads thick on the GLOVER spray,
And the brook hides under a willow screen;
When the rose Is queen, In loves demesne,
Then, the time is too sweet and too tight to
Whatever the sun and the dial say.
This Is che shortest day.

Who would not welcome summer when che
brings to us the flowers.
The musc of the sin ging birds, the pleasant sun

Who would not welcome summer when she
brings such things as these:
Asparagus, cucumbers, onions, lettuce and green
peas.

All, happy day, refuse to go
Hang in the heavens forever so!
Forever in mtd-afternoon,
All, happy day of happy June
Pour out thy sunshine on the hill,
The piny wood with perfume I'LL,
And breathe across the singing sea
Land-scented hreezes, that shall he
sweet the gardens that they pass
Where children tumble in the grass!
