Summer days
Brewed lovingly
Lay far from a tired reach

Summer days
Seared so masterfully
I long for the warmth you preach

May fair-weather bloom
Coddle my frame
And subdue this cold refrain

To chase away
This jealous gloom
So the youth may sprawl again

Summer days
Of majesty
Roll away from the depths of sleep

Summer days
Have ravaged me
A curse I labor to keep
