Summer. Life. Song. -- [Introduction to the Set]

by Adolphus Cunningham Hailstork (b. 1941)

1. I shall keep singing [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English

I shall keep singing!
Birds will pass me
On their way to Yellower Climes --
Each -- with a Robin's expectation --
I -- with my Redbreast --
And my Rhymes --

Late -- when I take my place in summer --
But -- I shall bring a fuller tune --
Vespers -- are sweeter than Matins -- Signor --
Morning -- only the seed of Noon --
