Of New England in June
I remember...
Pink roses cascading the old gray wall
As streams of shimmering sunlight
Dance among the silver birches
And meadows of white daises
Wave in the gentle breeze.
From the stone-fenced rolling pasture
To the twilight night in the deep wood
Where fireflies with fairy lanterns
Shine their silver light
Among this primrose scented starry night
In stillness I listen to the crickets serenade
All the while embracing the soul of June.
