Sumer is icumen inA Poem by Michael R. Burch This is an anonymous Middle English poem, circa 1260 AD, loose translation by Michael R. Burch Summer has arrived! Sing loud, cuckoo! The seed grows, The meadow blows, The woods spring up anew. Sing, cuckoo! The ewe bleats for her lamb; The cows contentedly moo; The bullock roots, The billy-goat poots ... Sing merrily, cuckoo! Cuckoo, cuckoo, You sing so well, cuckoo! Never stop, until you're through! Sing now cuckoo! Sing, cuckoo! Sing, cuckoo! Sing now cuckoo!
