Summer Wishes

  

Summer suns, shine gently here;

Summer breeze, blow soft and clear:

Keep my garden fresh and fair

So the hours run smoothly there.

Summer stars, shine softly down;

Evening, trail your perfumed gown.

Fairy fingers, gently stray:

Elfin pipers, softly play.

 

Misty haze of summer dawn,

Gently touch this velvet lawn.

May this spot a haven be

For bird and butterfly and bee.
