SUMMER DAYS.
Dear summer days. O days and night,
Rich in a beauty infinite,
I love your winds that odours bear
From gardens fill'd with roses fair,
And slender lilies tall and white.
Rich in a beauty infinite,
I love your winds that odours bear
From gardens fill'd with roses fair,
And slender lilies tall and white.
To breathe your air is pure delight,
Such beauty takes the ravish'd sight,
Such loveliness is everywhere
Dear summer days.
Such beauty takes the ravish'd sight,
Such loveliness is everywhere
Dear summer days.
Thy splendours fill the earth with light,
Sunbeams to heav'n make pathways bright,
Each beam like to a golden stair,
That leads through clear, and crystal air,
Upward from cloudless height to height,
Dear summer days.
Sunbeams to heav'n make pathways bright,
Each beam like to a golden stair,
That leads through clear, and crystal air,
Upward from cloudless height to height,
Dear summer days.
