Summer Afternoon, Summer Afternoon!!!
The happiest words I croon…
A song of remembrance of yesteryear
When the languid days made it clear….
When the languid days made it clear….
“What a lovely time is summer!”
A hummingbird is the hummer…
A hummingbird is the hummer…
A wonder it floats through the air
From flower to flower with delicate care….
From flower to flower with delicate care….
Propelled by the morning wings so fleeting
Their enchanting tiny excursion my greeting…
Their enchanting tiny excursion my greeting…
The sunflower banquette in a seaside lullaby
Leans toward the sun like a happy child’s cry…
Leans toward the sun like a happy child’s cry…
Wild blossoms tumble in profusion I spy
And the morning glory climbs up to the sky…
And the morning glory climbs up to the sky…
The sweet primrose waits till sunset to unfurl
Unlocking its rich perfume like a rare pearl…
Unlocking its rich perfume like a rare pearl…
At night the breeze caresses like a feather
Sent as a gift of fair weather…
Sent as a gift of fair weather…
Wafting against my cheek like a lover
I dream of its touch only to discover…
I dream of its touch only to discover…
A thunderclap tears apart our embrace
Into a shelter, cooled off we race…
Into a shelter, cooled off we race…
I can never forget those halcyon days
United with nature despite the haze…
United with nature despite the haze…
Longingly I yearn to remember these treasures
Knowing this reverie can never be measured.
Knowing this reverie can never be measured.
