SUMMER SUN Great is the sun, and wide he goes Through empty heaven without repose; And in the blue and glowing days More thick than rain he showers his rays. Though closer still the blinds we pull To keep the shady parlour cool, Yet he will find a chink or two To slip his golden fingers through. SUMMER SUN GREAT IT'S THE SUN AND WHY HE GOES THROUGH EMPTY HEAVEN WITHOUT RESPONSE AND IN THE BLUE AND GLOWING DAYS MORE THICK THAN RAIN HE SHOWERS HIS RAYS THROUGH CLOSE THOUGH CLOSER STILL THE BLINDS WE PULL TO KEEP THE SHADY PARLOUR COOL YET HE WILL FIND A CHICKEN OR TWO TO SLIP HIS GOLDEN FINGERS THROUGH
il eggs they shall Chip, and upspringing Make all the April woods Merry with singing. Younger than we are, O children, and frailer, Soon in blue air they'll be, Singer and sailor. We, so much older, Taller and stronger, We shall look down on the Birdies no longer. They shall go flying With musical speeches High over head in the Tops of the beeches. In spite of our wisdom And sensible talking, We on our feet must go Plodding and walking. [Illustration] THE FLOWERS All the names I know from nurse: Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse, Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smock, And the Lady Hollyhock. Fairy places, fairy things, Fairy woods where the wild bee wings, Tiny trees for tiny dames-- These must all be fairy names! Tiny woods below whose boughs Shady fairies weave a house; Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme, Where the braver fairies climb! [Illustration: THE FLOWERS] Fair are grown-up people's trees, But the fairest woods are these; Where, if I were not so tall, I should live for good and all.
