Explore "A Song of Summer Days" by Virna Sheard on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
As pearls slip off a silken string and fall into the sea, / These rounded summer days fall back into eternity.
Into the deep from whence they came; into the mystery -- / At set of sun each one slips back as pearls into the sea.
They are so sweet -- so warm and sweet -- Love fain would hold them fast: / He weeps when through his finger tips they slip away at last.
