A summer breeze and myrtle’s tang The streets are misty from the rain They underneath the street lamps hang So tell the boys come home again And cease with their romancing
Calliopes of burgundy Obstructing all the sounds nearby So which way must I look to see The wind-swept swallows swoop the sky And watch their joyful dancing?
There’s pleasure there in peeking up The heavens churning, brown in hue So let the raindrops fill their cup And let us hold each other to Prevent the dusk advancing
Thus incense sweeps the streets with calm The leaves are laden down with dew As evening gently takes my arm And leads me through my thoughts to you For no one’s more entrancing
