Oh Summer, let me count thy ways as I bask 
inside the sunlight of your sunny spice 
Oh Summer, may I drink from your flaxen flask
before winter turns my skin as cold as ice

Oh Summer, dance me to the end of August 
then dance me to the end of love.  
Oh Summer, before my memory turns to dust 
come and fit me like a glove...

Oh Summer, favored amongst all seasons 
with your golden rays of Yupik Mesquite   
Oh summer, give me all your fiery beacons 
lay your leathery heat on me, replete 

Oh Summer, Oh Summer, Oh Summer,  
you'll be gone soon, now that is a bummer !
