The break of summer bursts to life In sweltering throng bees rumble and sing Season’s clockwork turns on from spring As sun’s ascent melts mortal strife Below! A throng! Of people lean And intervene upon the scene As batchelor watches in thrall the sway of his wife
All Hearts and Souls stir in that midst Of roses with the sunshine kissed As life hath song: love, luscious supreme Whose silence, felt, denudes Heart’s dream But fever of life’s noon is here For couple who evoke a tear Their one Heart whole without a seam
