All summertime delights, <br />I remember them well; <br />The brightly warm nights, <br />With their enchanting spell. <br />And the beautiful gardens, <br />With the coloring flowers; <br />Earth's pleasurable wardens, <br />Which my soul endowers. <br /> <br />The footsteps I've stepped, <br /> In moments of earnestness; <br />Each weighing I've kept, <br /> In true colored augustness. <br />All summertime delights, <br />That autumn shades change; <br />Their moments in heights, <br />And the future will rearrange. <br /> <br />I remember those days, <br />That are forever leaving; <br />In the tiding's turning ways, <br />Which are now interweaving.<br /><br />Peter S.
