Serenade to Summer

The sun overhead is shining

And I bathe in its golden rays

After rain my heart was pining

For just these golden, sunlit days

The earth seems to be rejoicing

Once more to see his fiery glare

Birds with vibrant joy are voicing

Their happy songs into the air.

 

The sky overhead is deep blue

The clouds float lazily above

The sky reminds, with its deep hue

Me of the deepness of our love…

And sky and earth, though far apart

Call each other through the distance

Just as now my lonely heart

Longs for you, even this instant.

 

The sky sins to the earth with songs

Of loud, mighty, rumbling thunder

The earth replies, earnest and long

With much shuddering and tremors

Like us, surely, they must; one day-

Come fairest or foulest weather-

Breach the gap that keeps them at bay

And finally be together?

What a lovely poem! The first stanza is my favorite. I want to escape from the snow of winter and live in the first stanza of your poem. What is the rent?
