 the pastures are so cool Where stand the lazy cattle knee-deep p

 foam of blooDy snow- The gates of summer beckon, let us pack
 our hearts and go, Go, ah yes, to follow
 Every gypsy trail that keeps Its pattern through the hollow And upon the balmy steepsi we'n sail the sunrise river. we'll seek the sunset sea. We'll find the honeysuckle lane. the green
 persimmon trees We'll seek the fairy roses and hunt the

 The winds mdsy blow about us. The rain tempeStuous beat But, oh, the gates of summer.
