Summertime, O Summertime Poem by Valerie Dohren

Summertime, O Summertime

Rating: 5.0


Beautiful the sunshine's glow
On a gentle summer`s day
Bringing joy to every heart
With all sadness chased away

All the birds across the land
Play in ever gay delight
Flutt`ring through the leafy trees
Singing sweet farewells to night

Flowers bloom in full display
O so beauteous to our eyes;
Verdant fields spread far and wide -
Cotton clouds in azure skies

Noon-time shadows softly fade
`Neath the sun so high above;
All earth`s creatures dance and play
Full embraced in nature`s love

Summertime, O summertime
Splendid be your aspect fair
Bearing gladness in your train -
Joy to all who linger there

Birds and blooms of the pleasant summer time continue to be greatest attraction for many including me and you too, I assume. As ever a splendid celebration of the season by Valerie!
