How very blue must be the Summer skies

That bend above the vales of Paradise!

How every landscape, every valley deep

Will fill the radiant soul with sweet surprise!


On Love s Highway


One day Love met me on the June highways,

When all the fields were bending in the breeze

That brought new promises of Summer days,

And tulips bloomed beneath the spreading trees.


"Walk thou with me," he said, "along the way:

See all the world is glad and so am I,

Be my companion and each blessed day

Will pass as holy incense to the sky."


Almost a score of years have passed since then

And Love and I have never walked apart,

And sweet June roses fill the way as when

We first clasped hands so long ago, Sweetheart.
