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

That`s the marvel of your U.K as summer sets in Valerie... The poets from Asia have proved themselves to be careless about that! For us summer is very hot and it is the time our rivers go slender, lakes shallow and our birds and animals too hunt for drinking water... Your thoughts are applicatively superb and we feel proud of your landscape in Valerie. But we in India just often cry, oh! summer, oh! summer and no lines flow forth....
