Another Summer sprouting
.
Bright daisies and golden dandelions
To us in swaths of color,
A glorious yellow gorse, a hawthorn like lace
In the green cloak of a Summer bride.
.
A yellow May day on fire in the hedges,
And birds singing in the branches,
Lambs gamboling and calfs being herded
In the fertile fields of Summer.
.
The clouds of the sky are like soft sheep's fleece,
A bright sun gilding everything,
Bees are busy, and ants in their swarms
Gathering the fruits of the season.
.
Cowslips decorating the grasslands,
Hedges blooming profusely,
Bright bog cotton bleaching the bogs,
And fuchsia like Summer pearl
.
Years in herds grazing happily,
The collection of memories stirring with them,
The days of youth racing back to us,
Like the Summer flowers bloom.
.
But let's put them away, the memories of our youth,
As youth will not return twice to us,
The years will not return that have left us
Unless the faded bloom of Summer returns.
.
