July.

July's a month I don't admire; !;
it's hotter than a house ahre.
1t drives me wailing to the
shade, to lap up tubs of lemon
ade, the while I twang a mourn
full Tyre; July's a month ! don't t
admire. The sun is like a ball OF
brass; it shrivels all the leaves
and grass; it burns my neck and
peels my nose, and multiplies my
weary woes, and make me mur-
mur and perspire; July's a
month l don't admire. The couch
to which l drag my form, when
evening comes, is much too
warm. And there / toss the long
night through, and tear the
sheets, and groan and stew, and
kick the footboard from the bed,
and vainly wish that I were
dead. When morning comes l
sadly rise, and brush the cob
webs from my eyes, and see the
same old sun on deck, deter
mined all the world to wreck.
The breeze is dry and lacking
juice; twas fried before they
turned it loose. The birds flop
round on wilted wings, and not
blamed canary sings. The
hens are squawking here and
there disguised that they can
not swear. All nature has a
parboiled hook, and steam is ris-
ing from the brook, and halt
cooked fish climb out to get a
breath of air, already. yet. The
men and women sadly go on
bootless errands to and fro;
they view the hot and glaring
sky and speak blue words about
July. The landscapes like a
widespread pyre; July's a month
I don't admire.
