To give thanks forevermore,
As the wealth of grain is garnered
And fruit mellows to the core...

The soft puff-balls of thistles
And ground-pine turning gold
Are Summer's last word set upon
The glittering edge of cold.

Youth and love and a summer day—
What fairer gifts could the gods bestow?
Ah, could the golden time but stay,
Of youth and love and a summer day!

Princess, what though we suffer? Sun and skies
And green trees' beauty make our cares seem small;
Boon that no Esau sells, or Croesus buys,
The golden summer-time, is over all.

The wood's green heart is a nest of dreams,
The lush grass thickens and springs and sways,
The rathe wheat rustles, the landscape gleams—
Midsummer days! Midsummer days!
