SUMMERTIME, O SUMMERTIME by Valerie Dohren




SUMMERTIME, O SUMMERTIME 

by Valerie Dohren


Beautiful the sunshine's glow
On a gentle summer`s day
Bringing glee to every heart
With all sadness chased away
All the birds across the land
Play in ever gay delight
Flutt`ring through the leafy trees
Singing sweet farewells to night
Flowers bloom in full display
O so beauteous to our eyes;
Verdant fields spread far and wide -
Cotton clouds in azure skies
Noon-time shadows softly fade
`Neath the sun so high above;
All earth`s creatures dance and play
Full embraced in nature`s love
Summertime, O summertime
Splendid be your aspect fair
Bearing gladness in your train -
Joy to all who linger there
