The race of the Spring is giving way To the pace of the Summer, More and more Bees hover among the flowers, and Young Chickadees are bigger now Ripening like fruit on the vine, Passing the test of hours And in the lawn grass the Adder lies-- Still, stillness it must keep, Wrapp'd by a hundred butterflies Reds, oranges, blues, saffron, whites All inextricably unique Save when they rise, Rising as they do like smoke when the serpent bites The fang'd body uncoiled, vicious, sheer-- Nothing left in which to hide Nothing more to make disguise The Adder is bare before our eyes The Adder is yielded to scrutinize! See it before it flies! Spare yourself the surprise!

The race of the Spring is giving way To the pace of the Summer, More and more Bees hover among the flowers, and Young Chickadees are bigger now Ripening like fruit on the vine, Passing the test of hours And in the lawn grass the Adder lies-- Still, stillness it must keep, Wrapp'd by a hundred butterflies Reds, oranges, blues, saffron, whites All inextricably unique Save when they rise, Rising as they do like smoke when the serpent bites The fang'd body uncoiled, vicious, sheer-- Nothing left in which to hide Nothing more to make disguise The Adder is bare before our eyes The Adder is yielded to scrutinize! See it before it flies! Spare yourself the surprise!
