Oh Summer, Would that you would make me your bride, For l'll come back to you endlessly, Body and soul Brimming to full With the deepest parts of me Both at peace and at play, Consistently Sun-kissed, Wind-blown, Soaked in halcyon brightness To the bone, This divine passion Never fully served By memory alone. Oh Summer, My truest love, Would that with you I could stay, For I hold you in heart year-long, And pine all the while you're away.
