I'm EARLY Summer
By r. II. hunkittrich

Adown the sky the cloud-ship sends;
The lilv decks the mountain bay;
And in our antique winter duds
The blithe moth toots his v1relay
About the twinkling mead the steer
Circles III an ecstatic tlt,
And bv the spring chick ever dear,
Our chaste auroraI toast IS lit.
Around the shanghai wildly kicks
The landscape IN lordly style;
And quick apace the bulldog filcks
The bug that dances on his smile
Across the sidewalks moist eXPanse
The small boys tops and marbles SPIN
While the mosquito homes his lance,
And tunes his moonlight mandolin.
As bird-notes ripple down our spine,
The zephyr drifts across the slope,
It's pinions fraught with kalsomlne,
It's whiskers primed with laundry soap
These fine DAYS come on hled feet
Beneath a smiling turquoise sky,
To lull us with the strangely sweet
Adagio Of the cherry-Ple,
Which ike a gentle dew descends
Tr,on our souls with music rare,
While incidentally it mends
The raveled trousers seat OF care.
