by Helen Taylor (1876 - 1943)
When summer comes
Language: English
When summer comes I’ll steal away And find the land of shining day; I’ll rest beside the singing streams And make myself a house of dreams. I’ll build myself a palace fair Of silver dew and golden air; I’ll hang it all with rainbows bright And dwell within it day and night. The west wind will my playmate be, And all the stars will sing to me, And gleaming sun and falling rain Will make my spirit young again.
