Summertime - anticipated Warm days and sultry nights Summertime - now eagerly awaited Enjoy the sounds and scents and sights Summer time of leisure and of pleasure Holidays and journeys to new climes To seek to see the world and all its treasures To see trees full of lemons and of limes. Summertime the joy of sunny days Horrors of Winter all forgotten To walk in mud free lanes and nature praise All things fresh - nothing decayed or rotten. Summertime please stay with us for ever Autumn's beauty is offset with wind and rain August come she must - September a glowing ember Summer please promise us in nine months time You will be born again! ! !
