The air is tense with insect life; flies
scamper and swerve, devils darn-needes
dart and poise and dart again. grasshoppers
leap. butterflies flutter. swarms OF gnats
third the spaces, and there Is droning of
bees among the blossoms as they load them
selves with plumber and fly home to build
their golden masonry.
Among the alders the brook is gurgling
with laughter, for ii knows Phyllis secret
and mine for upon its banks / told her
also a squirrel was listening and peepng.
and when kissed my Phyllis the squirrel
ran away and told all the woods people.
So that now our love is known in all
the hooks of the world; that is what the
thrush yonder Is singing about.
Therefore all the earth praises the Father
of Summer because Love is.
Love has come to me, and it has unlocked
the heart Of the cosmos. and shown me the
Great White Throne of happiness.
All pain and sin and ugliness are not, for
they are dream. they are bracts that must
fall from the sweet flower, they are but
seeming.
Phyllis loves me. therefore / am wiser
than all the sages. for the sum of knowledge
is love.
Therefore do praise the Father of Sum-
mer. Him that made the unending cycle
of loving and living. Of beasts. and birds,
and insects. and the souls Of men, and
bathed them all in Summer.
Happy we two stand in the glad sun and
praise the Father Of Summer.
