The Loud Cries, Brightest Depths Of Summer Hues

The loud cries, brightest depths of summer hues!
 Gold gleaming on broad fields of flashing grain;
 Numerous as if sands upon sea shore
 Nature wouldst this beauty never deny
 Spring's great new glory in its birthing pains
The loud cries, brightest depths of summer hues!

The meritorious winds, summer's love!
 The adventure of red fox hunt and chase;
 Passionate and true as lovers implore
 Lust for the living and heart's softer steps
 Cupid's deep thrusts, arrow's fruits not erase
The meritorious winds, summer's love!

The sweetness of summer songs have now fled!
 The angry wasps have forsaken their nests:
 Dried hanging as if to be never more
 Death wouldst dar'est accursed dark levies take
 Living heart from singing in mortal chests
The sweetness of summer songs have now fled!

The loud cries, brightest depths of summer hues!
 Gold gleaming on broad fields of flashing grain;
 Numerous as if sands upon sea shore
 Nature wouldst this beauty never deny
 Spring's great new glory in its birthing pains
The loud cries, brightest depths of summer hues!

Thank you my friend. I wrote this poem in early March, when summer here was still far away. I was recalling summers of my youth on the farm and I just let the verses flow on out.

The dull colours of summer have their own attractions but you have defused more brightness and landscaping beauty in these otherwise dull colours of summers. By sketching such a wonderful picturesque poetic scene, you have created a wonderful beauty dear friend Robert. It was a joy to read your poem and thank you so much for revisit on my poems of 12Th May. I am grateful for your precious words. More on your poem after I come back from an outstation trip...with best wishes always..Ravindra

What an interesting form: the six firm symmetric stanzas with a floating line! I never met before.
