Welcome, Summer
by Geoffrey Chaucer
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Now welcome, Summer, with your sun so soft,
since you’ve banished Winter with her icy weather
and driven away her long nights’ frosts.
Saint Valentine, in the heavens aloft,
the songbirds sing your praises together!
Now welcome, Summer, with your sun so soft,
since you’ve banished Winter with her icy weather.
We have good cause to rejoice, not to scoff,
since love’s in the air, and also in the heather,
whenever we find such blissful warmth, together.
Now welcome, Summer, with your sun so soft,
since you’ve banished Winter with her icy weather
and driven away her long nights’ frosts.
Whoso List to Hunt
by Sir Thomas Wyatt
loose translation/interpretation/modernization by Michael R. Burch
Whoever longs to hunt, I know the deer;
but as for me, alas!, I may no more.
This vain pursuit has left me so bone-sore
I'm one of those who falters, at the rear.
Yet friend, how can I draw my anguished mind
away from the doe? Thus, as she flees before
me, fainting I follow. I must leave off, therefore,
since in a net I seek to hold the wind.
Whoever seeks her out, I relieve of any doubt,
that he, like me, must spend his time in vain.
For graven with diamonds, set in letters plain,
these words appear, her fair neck ringed about:
"Touch me not, for Caesar's I am,
And wild to hold, though I seem tame."
Brut
by Layamon, circa 1100 AD, an excerpt
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Now he stands on a hill overlooking the Avon,
seeing steel fishes girded with swords in the stream,
their swimming days done,
their scales a-gleam like gold-plated shields,
their fish-spines floating like shattered spears.
If you see a busker singing for tips, you're seeing someone carrying on an Anglo-Saxon tradition that goes back to the days of Beowulf …
He sits with his harp at his thane's feet,
Earning his hire, his rewards of rings,
Sweeping the strings with his skillful nail;
Hall-thanes smile at the sweet song he sings.
—"Fortunes of Men" loose translation by Michael R. Burch

A magnolia tree stands tall by my window
On a bent bough stretching out green to me
From the nest of twig web a sparrow
Tweets to me the tune of summer song.
The nest falls with the leaves in winter of despair
The homeless sparrow can’t bear the wind chill
Disappears beyond the edge of dismal freeze
Leaving the last echo of its song by my window.
The bare branch waits for the verdant sprout
That I look for out of the window on gloomy days
I hear the sparrow’s chirp resonate at new sunrise
In the winter of discontent my summer song returns.

I used the song parts in this poem:
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer.
I thought you would go, then come back home.
I thought the cold would leave by summer,
but my quiet nights will be spent alone.
~ I Never Dreamed You’d Leave in Summer, *Written by Stevie Wonder and Syreeta Wright*
As I walk along,
I wonder
what went wrong
with our love
~ Runaway *Written by Del Shannon and Max Crook*
'Cause I've done everything I know
to try and change your mind,
and I think I'm gonna miss you
for a long, long time.
~Long, Long Time *Written by Gary Wright, Sung by Linda Ronstadt*
My poem, Summer Runaway, follows:
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer.
I thought you would go, then come back home.
I thought the cold would leave by summer,
but my quiet nights will be spent alone.
I’ve never felt so lost and confused.
I’m no longer warmed by the summer breeze.
This time, my heart is broken, not just bruised.
We used to stroll ‘neith these willow trees.
As I walk along,
I wonder
what went wrong
with our love,
a love that was so strong.
Could be, I can’t see
that somehow
we’re not meant to be,
or someone,
and you must be free.
So, go along, your own way
now that you’ve left my side.
I hope you find happiness.
There’s nothing I haven’t tried,
'cause I've done everything I know
to try and change your mind,
and I think I'm gonna miss you
for a long, long time.
Summertime, summertime, summertime bop
Come why not to the summertime hop
Movin’ n’ groovin’ dancers everywhere
Wearing flowers in their hair.
Summertime, summertime, summertime bop
Boppin’ around the clock till one drops
Swingin’ and swayin’ havin’ a great time
Until midnight chimes.
For young hearts it’s a brill time
To bop away all day
Summertime’s a dreamtime
For gathering friends along the way.
Boy meets girl and girl meets boy
As billowin’ breeze blows
Romance fills the air
As the summertime flows.
On your feet, to the beat, dance in the street
Give it all you have got
Rotate those hips, do the jive and the twist
Maybe try a fox trot.
For that’s summertime
Yes that’s summertime
That’s the summertime bop.
1.) Oh, darling, flower of mine;
It is summer,
Its summer time
Seasons of greetings
Joyous picnics and meetings
Family and friends gather round it’s
(Summer)Summertime
Chorus) Woman I got the hots for you;
Darling, can’t you see I’m sweating too!
The sun in the sky yellow, ooh
I want just to be you’re only fellow
It’s summertime with you ;
2.) Flourish and scented
Cool as a morning breeze;
That sun dress you’re wearing oooh we baby;
Season of heat
Ohm girl you’re so sweet
Like honey-dew melon, darling
(Summer) summertime
Chorus) Woman I got the hots for you;
Darling, can’t you see I’m sweating too!
The sun in the sky yellow, ooh
I want just to be you’re only fellow
It’s summertime with you ;
3.) Ice cold lemonade Juneteenth
Celebrations
Family reunions
Hope to escort you there, my darling
Ooh oh woo oh oh summertime
Chorus) Woman I got the hots for you;
Darling, can’t you see I’m sweating too!
The sun in the sky yellow, ooh
I want just to be you’re only fellow
It’s summertime with you ;

Summer lyric
Summer’s Gone
(Beach Boys from album “That’s why God made the radio”)
Summer's gone
Summer's gone away
Gone away
With yesterday
Old friends have gone
They've gone their separate ways
Our dreams hold on
For those who still have more to say
Summer's gone
Gone like yesterday
The nights grow cold
It's time to go
I'm thinking maybe I'll just stay
Another summer gone
Summer's gone
It's finally sinking in
One day begins
Another ends
I live them all and back again
Summer's gone
I'm gonna sit and watch the waves
We laugh, we cry
We live then die
And dream about our yesterday
Christmas lyric parody
Christmas comes
Comes on snow laid way
All the way
With time to pray
Family folks have come
From wherever they stay
My joy fulsome
Reaches great height on festive day
Christmas comes
Under the sky grey
Frozen winds blow
Carol to hum
Dance round fir tree if I may
Another Christmas comes
Christmas comes
I sense fully within
My mind is keen
Feels delight
Live the time again and again
Christmas comes
I’ll watch the snow-flakes dance
We sing, we sigh
Time passes us by
Joy becomes memory to stray

Summer days are coming
To take you in my arms
In summer nights, we shall be
Singing our love songs.
When the Moonlight would rise
The sleeping waves of Sea
And your sweet arms would be
Encircling me close to thee.
Summer days are coming
To take you in my arms
In Summer nights, we shall be
Singing our love songs.
I know why you watch
The Sea waves rising to kiss
When the Moon began to pour
Its love drops on the Sea.
Watching the joy of Sea waves
You always come in mood
And then like the rainy clouds
You shower your love on me.
Summer days are coming
To take you in my arms
In summer nights, we shall be
Singing our love songs.
O’ Darling I am waiting
For the Summer days to come
As in summer days you shower
Your rain like love on me.
Summer days are coming
To take you in my arms
In summer nights, we would be
Singing our love songs.

When the summer breeze comes along my way,
It freshens me up and makes me to sway,
Gently, I feel like dancing and swinging,
Soft, this summer breeze makes me go singing...
Chorus:
Summer breeze, gentle breeze,
All my languishing flees,
Summer breeze, gentle breeze,
Brings me joy, brings me peace.
When the summer breeze blows its cool incense,
It lightens me up and calms every sense,
Children around me feeling a tingling,
With summer comes the ice cream man jingling...
Chorus:
Summer breeze, gentle breeze,
All my languishing flees,
Summer breeze, gentle breeze,
Brings me joy, brings me peace.
Bridge:
Feel the whistling summer breeze
Rustling through the verdant leaves,
Feel the breeze gently singing
Summer's here - good news bringing...
Chorus:
Summer breeze, gentle breeze,
All my languishing flees,
Summer breeze, gentle breeze,
Brings me joy, brings me peace.
Sing Angel Girl On Her Day
Angels came to play and lay a cloud of snowy white beneath her feet
As they treat her to a Happy Birthday party
And sing her name in praise and peace
Hi Girl, they would whisper to her soft and low
How lovely you look today
And she would whisper back hello
Thank them for the fluffy snow
For melting it away
So she can enjoy her special day.
Thank you for the flowers glowing blue and red
Angels smiled at her kindly and kissed her head
And blessed her hardships that make her strong
They danced in flowing summer fields so soft and long
They danced around her with a Happy Birthday wish
To have her join them in joy and happiness
To join them in a song and endless bliss
May your love bring sunshine days every day. Blessings and best wishes.
Sunshine days
By Michelle Morris
17/07/2020
Chorus
You made sunshine days -
Every day;
You made rain clouds go -
Go away;
You made everything
better for me...
You made my soul soar free -
So free... (end chorus)
You came into my world
Like a balm;
You gave me a sense of
Such calm...
You loved me for me,
And it was great;
You understood my story -
You could relate...
Chorus
You danced with me
out on the lawn;
We had fun every night
until dawn...
The stars shone brighter
with you;
And the mornings seemed
lovely and new...
Chorus
We made beautiful memories
always;
To keep close for the
rest of our days...
And I'll treasure the time
spent with you;
It's the best of love
come true...
Chorus
