The TALES you probably never heard about

SUMMER

Welcome again thou glorious season,
Quick following Spring’s decay,
With breezes light and flowers so bright,
To cheer us on our way.

You spread your beauties all around,
The Earth, the Air, the Seas,
The birds sweet song, it echoes long
Amid the swaying trees.

Oh, gently zephyrs of the South!
That fan the fragrant flowers,
How light you play throughout the day,
Among the shady bowers.

How grand the fields of golden grain,
Beneath the summer skies,
With waving motion, like rolling ocean,
The tall stalks fall and rise.

We view the sun at summer eve,
The day well nigh passed by;
Its golden light so wondrous bright,
Illumes the western sky.

Thou richest season of the year,
Thy praise we’ll ever sing;
To you we know, much do we owe,
Who all these beauties bring.
