The Summer Knows

 

 

The summer knows she's ending soon

As she blows her goodbye kiss to the moon

And the hues of flowers have slowly died

As the voice of summer softly sighs

 

 

In the eve of approaching autumn mist

She bids the Earth her farewell kiss

Promising us her seasonal greeting

When she'll return her summer meeting

 

Summer's hush tickles the countryside

As the moon sprinkles light over midnight skies

She softly sings her farewell tune

Gently stroking Heavens of violet blue 

 

 

She sings her crowning lullaby

Softly caressing darkening skies

Teasing the Earth in her splendid hues

Walking hand in hand with autumn new

 

Venus and Jupiter dance  in the sky

Ushering in fall as summer draws nigh

She softly sings her goodbye tune

Blowing her final kiss to the moon

She safely sleeps in Mother Nature's bed

As billowy clouds descend in autumn wed -
