The midsummer dream
of sunshine and pleasure
induces one to take leisure
as it is a season of treasure
great and clear of nature
bounteous in its fruitfulness
caressing in its expansiveness
weather of sensitive exuberance
where growth is in predominance
while life enjoys a reverberation
be that one of great exaltation
trade and transaction are buoyant
cheer and spright are flamboyant
a season so nice and cordial
though one has to go through an ordeal
of hard work and strain in diligence
yet a respite in general and in advance
as the fall and winter come forth
which provokes one to a loathe
as the snow and cold knock one down
and the brows knit in a frown.
