Explore "What Makes Summer?" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Winter froze both brook and well; / Fast and fast the snowflakes fell; / Children gathered round the hearth / Made a summer of their mirth; / When a boy, so lately come / That his life was yet one sum / Of delights -- of aimless rambles.
Romps and dreams and games and gambols, / Thought aloud: "I wish I knew / What makes summer -- that I do!"
