Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gems of Poetry Summer With sunshine and with flowers she came In laughing, careless glee, With silvery voice of rippling streams, And heart so glad and free. With sylvan songs of sweet-voiced birds, With breezes soft and mild, With fleecy clouds and skies of blue, She came, this wayward child. Her life was short. The starry flowers Whose cups were filled with dew, Whose beauty fed the humming bee And graced the meadow through, Have drooped at last their wearied heads In grief upon their breast, For summer's burial time is near - The flowers have gone to rest The birds, who cheered those sunny days Have flown to southern bowers, All this in nature's sad array Brings back September hours. The colored leaf that flutters down Along the pebbly way, Speaks in a language all its own The end of summer's day.
