LONG SUMMER DAYS.
Long summer days are my desire:Red suns, that drop as globes of fireBehind the sloped fields white with weed:Warm winds, that waft the wandering seedWith silvery plume, now low, now higher:Pale clematis that o’er the brierRuns with frail feet that never tireBeside rough roads: your gifts I need,Long summer days!Yet come not, O profane ones! nigher,If in your stars be severance direOf dear companionship decreed:For then, alas! ye were indeed,Too far outstripping my desire,Long summer days!

Long summer days are my desire:
Red suns, that drop as globes of fire
Behind the sloped fields white with weed:
Warm winds, that waft the wandering seed
With silvery plume, now low, now higher:
Pale clematis that o’er the brier
Runs with frail feet that never tire
Beside rough roads: your gifts I need,
Long summer days!
Yet come not, O profane ones! nigher,If in your stars be severance direOf dear companionship decreed:For then, alas! ye were indeed,Too far outstripping my desire,Long summer days!
Yet come not, O profane ones! nigher,
If in your stars be severance dire
Of dear companionship decreed:
For then, alas! ye were indeed,
Too far outstripping my desire,
Long summer days!
