It's the time of merry crickets
Piping up their sprightly song
In the fields beyond the thickets
When the golden days are long;
Time of tempting harvest apples,
Growing in a country lane,
Where the summer sunshine dapples
Fields of erstwhile golden grain
August, matron of the seasons,
Round and ample, fun of breast,
Gives her romping children reasons
For repose and dreamful rest,
August nights are nights OF vision,
August days are days of ease,
Where the soul in fields Elysian
Wanders under lotus trees.
