It never falls never drys,greens forever
Whenever it extends,it grows moreover
Our love is like that tree,greens forever
On the deep rooted tree,friends forever
Each bird sings fruitly ,And sends clever
Each leave drops water and rains lever
We runabout as pilgrims every year
SUMMER
Stride out
Summer is outdoors
Is no other place
No yearning look out a window will thrill
the frame
The nest spills its load to pure nature
And flaps about by heat stricken
Stride out
Summer is awakening
Is not for old words croaking
The young in heart only half-sense
are blithely ignorant
They grow with the verdant crowds
And flounder happily about
Stride out
Summer is for doing
Is a wild runabout
Let them shrink in awareness those who frown
Summer is nature laughing and jolly
Let them die those who only sleep and watch
Dave Austin
