Last summer

Last summer brought a horror
And wind gave a tear
To my solemn sorrow
To bring the joy here

All birds to fly south
For keeper closed the gate
Sun went to pearly ocean mouth
For night to bring the shades

Last summer brought the colors
To brick and stones and leaf
And I sat with thinking rubber
To slant the lonesome grief

And when the summer was high
I left my lonely home
To find another lover
Of mountains and trees to roam

Summer bid adieu
With a sketch upon the wind
To promise for another relief
When winter will leave the grind
