Before the Summer's Gone

Sweet summer how I love you best with gardens full in bloom warmth of your morning day besets the promise of cool waters soon Forward see, I look to thee cool river to carry away the toil of a labored week now reached and set my cares to play Let me drift upon thy current as beauty donees your banks dip my toes a stress adjournment now fill my dry and empty tank Ah the heat of summer sun some would dare complain... Oh no, not floating wild river while sipping coke' n rum enjoying blessings that came from long the winter rain Bear on me the summers heat turn my skin to bronze light my locks and bare my feet tis this season I find most fond Soon the Autumn days will near it's cool and hurried winds bowing stocks of corn by ear begging to be picked Then I'll praise the Fall of days it's country roads of colors changed I'll heed my naps on bales of hay dreaming of rivers I wish to wade Good morning summer's sweetest powers your brilliant blaze aglow my thanks for all your fragrant flowers thy refreshing waters too to dip my weary toes
