The Summer Sun Shone Round Me

Explore "The Summer Sun Shone Round Me" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

THE summer sun shone round me, / The folded valley lay / In a stream of sun and odour, / That sultry summer day.

The tall trees stood in the sunlight / As still as still could be, / But the deep grass sighed and rustled / And bowed and beckoned me.

The deep grass moved and whispered / And bowed and brushed my face.

It whispered in the sunshine: / "The winter comes apace. "
