Summer Sun

Hoary sun now trolls the availing sky
Radiant lamp gilding all who under its shade lie
Golden streams of light kindle hearth on high
Burning parasol fans its flames warming all that draw nigh 
A fiery portent to all who under its horizon fly 
Spreading thermal blanket its spawning heat to re-apply   
Through porous seams sultry beams ply
Silty founts it doth bleach then dry
Scorching leafy tents that on its succoring warmth doth rely 
Streaming with misty vapors, earth's boiling caldron doth gurgle and sigh
Sending convecting currents across earth's table, its residual steam to pry 
Jealously blanching the darker hues that with its mercurial splendor doth vie
