Summer

Alas, here comes the days,
When the summer brings a haze,
The days I come to dread,
When I cannot go to bed.
All is from its heat,
That I know not how to beat.

I long for winter's chill,
Though I do not know it still.
That summer's here to stay,
And oh god, unbearably I pray,
That the wrath of winter's frost,
Bring summer's demise and loss.

And that things become ice again,
'Cause then, my skin will finally mend.
