Summer Is Coming...!

""Summer is coming!" the soft breezes whisper;

"Summer is coming!" the glad birdies sing.

Summer is coming - I hear her quick footsteps;

Take your last look at the beautiful Spring.

Lightly she steps from her throne in the woodlands:

"Summer is coming, and I cannot stay;

Two of my children have crept from my bosom:

April has left me but lingering May.

"What tho' bright Summer is crownèd with roses.

Deep in the forest Arbutus doth hide;

I am the herald of all the rejoicing;

Why must June always disown me?" she cried.

Summer is coming! I hear the glad echo;

Clearly it rings o'er the mountain and plain.

Sorrowful Spring leaves the beautiful woodlands,

Bright, happy Summer begins her sweet reign."

- Dora Goodale
