Summer

Fresh from the rite of spring

Endowed with the beauty of nature

Earth walks into the morning

Into the garden of summer

Warmth radiates from the air

Sweet is the scent of the flowers

Bottlebrush, wattle and banksia

Castles of clouds above towers

Summer storms. Wind driving rain

Heavy heat mixed with the breeze

Showers will fall once again

Billows will tussle the trees

Lazy days oppressed with humidity

Cicadas making noise though the grass

They seem the only things happy

Soon the sun's torment will pass

Alas in the evenings cool harbour

The humid and heat still remain

But still earth treasures the savour

Of summer, of heat and of rain

Thomas Moore's The Last Rose of Summer

Thomas Moore: "Tis the last rose of summer,Left blooming alone;All her lovely companionsAre faded and gone." https://americanliterature.com/author/thomas-moore/poem/the-last-rose-of-summer

Sara Teasdale: Oh Earth, you are too dear to-night, How can I sleep while all around Floats rainy fragrance and the far Deep voice of the ocean that talks to the ground?"

C.S. Lewis The Ocean Strand

"Summer is queen in all the happy land.     Far, far away among the valleys green     Let us go forth and wander hand in hand     Beyond those solemn hills that we have seen     So often welcome home the falling sun..."     https://americanliterature.com/author/cs-lewis/poem/the-ocean-strand

Tennyson: June Bracken and Heather

"There on the top of the down,The wild heather round me and over me June’s high blue,When I look’d at the bracken so bright and the heather so brown,I thought to myself I would offer this book to you." https://americanliterature.com/author/alfred-lord-tennyson/poem/june-bracken-and-heather
