A Summer Evening
Poet: Robert Frost
The country things even with the country peace
Are lovelier with the country ease.
The meadow-sweet beside the hedge
Is sweeter for its setting edge,
The swallows in their half-round flight
Are swifter than the swallows quite,
And bees are drinking in the light
Lest the flowers lest all be lost.
For the country things even with the country peace
Are lovelier with the country ease.
A Calendar of Sonnets: July
Poet: Helen Hunt Jackson
Some flowers are withered and some joys have died;
The garden reeks with an East Indian scent
From beds where gillyflowers stand weak and spent;
The white heat pales the skies from side to side;
But in still lakes and rivers, cool, content,
Like starry blooms on a new firmament,
White lilies float and regally abide.
In vain the cruel skies their hot rays shed;
The lily does not feel their brazen glare.
In vain the pallid clouds refuse to share
Their dews, the lily feels no thirst, no dread.
Unharmed she lifts her queenly face and head;
She drinks of living waters and keeps fair.
July
Poet: Sara Teasdale
Brave July, bright and blue,
With her golden sun and dew,
Fairer than all other hours
Decked with sunshine, crowned with flowers.
July
Poet: John Clare (an excerpt) Loud is the summer's busy song
The smallest breeze can find a tongue,
While insects of each tiny size
Grow teasing with their melodies,
Till noon burns with its blistering breath
Around, and day lies still as death.
