Explore "Summer of Love" by Joyce Kilmer on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
June lavishes sweet-scented loveliness / And sprinkles sunfilled wine on everything; / The very leaves grow drunk with bliss and sing / And every breeze becomes a soft caress. / All earthly things felicity confess / And fairies dance in many a moonlit ring; / The fleetfoot hours fresh wealth of joyaunce bring; / Life wears her gayest rose-embroidered dress.
Kind June, why bear these golden gifts to me? / All winter long I hear the throstle's tune, / All winter long red roses I can see, / Reading the while Love's ancient magic rune. / In Love's fair garden-close I wander free, / So take your guerdon elsewhere, lovely June.
