mabel nightingale woodward - summer lyrics

Loading...

winter is cold+hearted
spring is yea and nay
autumn is a weatherc+ck
blown every way:
summer days for me
when every leaf is on its tree;

when robin’s not a beggar
and jenny wren’s a bride
and larks hang singing, singing, singing
over the wheat+fields wide
and anchored lilies ride
and the pendulum spider
swings from side to side

and blue+black beetles transact business
and gnats fly in a host
and furry caterpillars hasten
that no time be lost
and moths grow fat and thrive
and ladybirds arrive

before green apples blush
before green nuts embrown
why, one day in the country
is worth a month in town;
is worth a day and a year
of the dusty, musty, lag+last fashion
that days drone elsewhere
