His chorus leads the sound of things That burrow, fly and skip and creep, And many nightly joy it brings, But not including that of sleep. Oh, who would waste the night in

 ANSWER The summer sun has left my skin Tn much the shape that it was ln Along about the first of May, When it was only on its way. There was a fleeting time that ran To say, a fortnight, when the tan With which the sun endowed me
 stood
 A chance of being labeled Good. Alas! How soon daily bout Of office duty washed it out And left my face that flushy dark That's only hypertension's mark. Tine eurlished bronze today has
