Midsummer Dreams

Midsummer Dreams
love the green clad summer with
its dew-shot, misty morn,
when the glancing sunbeams
simmer on the green blades
Of song birds steal upon the
lanquid air,
And the fragrance OF the roseS
seems TO greet one every
where.
! ever love the moonday with its
glowing, sultry heat,
when the birds have ceased tneir
singing and have sought the
shades retreat
whan the world at large is tran,
quill and all Nature peaceiu'
seems,
And the lone some mind tahs9 ~
fuge In the castle OF its
dreams,
Tho summer time brings memories
Of my boyhood days long
past, %

Joys depart, aua
Return in dreams ana always ~
