Cool summer nights. <br />Windows open. <br />Lamps burning. <br />Fruit in the bowl. <br />And your head on my shoulder. <br />These the happiest moments in the day. <br /> <br />Next to the early morning hours, <br />of course. And the time <br />just before lunch. <br />And the afternoon, and <br />early evening hours. <br />But I do love <br /> <br />these summer nights. <br />Even more, I think, <br />than those other times. <br />The work finished for the day. <br />And no one who can reach us now. <br />Or ever.<br /><br />Raymond Clevie Carver<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-best-time-of-the-day/
