Summer Leisure
Lulled by the summer breeze enchantment
He succumbed to sleep* dream's engagement
First, he plunged to pool pleasure
Ending with lounging leisure…
Now, he prays against work retrenchment.
*Proverbs 20:13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
