A Song Of Sun And Summer

A SONG OF SUN AND SUMMER
ELIZABETH ROBERTS MACDONALD
4153

Now shimmering waves of fairy bloom
Across the meadows break and run,
And all the good brown earth is glad
Beneath the glory of the sun

In bubbles blown of crystal sound
The tinkling bird-notes ring and fall,
And silvery echoes answer clear
When summer’s elfin bugles call

Through sheen and shadow, flower and song,
The halcyon hours uncounted fly,
While height on height above us lifts
An azure miracle of sky
