Dancing shadows, rushing streams Bring on, bring on, my summer dreams Muddy green seas only sometimes blue A red sky sunset for me and you. Harvested cornfields, shady trees Horse with flies and foxes with fleas A giggle of children running nigh bare Hazards abound but they don't care. Summer thoughts and summer highs Pull us through winter's pallid skies We who dwell in this hemisphere Need the summer every year. June 2004
