The Summer's Here

The summer's here, how fast it came- the deepest greens- and blooms, aflame. The song of birds, so sweet and clear- how fast it came- the summer's here. The babbling brook heard rambling by, amid the stones, that beneath lie, with twists and bends, fills every nook; heard rambling by, a babbling brook. And soothing breeze, refreshing air cools blazing rays, too hot to bear. Life feels so fine- relaxed neath trees- refreshing air, and soothing breeze. The summertime- so short a stay! Before we know, it fades away. Enjoy them now- these gifts, sublime. So short a stay, the summertime. June 6, 2020 Contest: Swap The Verse Sponsor: Joseph May
