Oh beautiful, languid Summer!
   You are so fleet, so fleet.
Oh, youth and joy and gladness,
   You are so sweet--so sweet!
My life is a wonderful poem,
   Complete in measure and rhyme,
And the sweetest of all the stanzas
   Is written this summer time.
                                                         A Summer Idyl.
