by Robert Seymour Bridges (1844 - 1930)
When June is come, then all the day
Language: English
When June is come, then all the day I'll sit with my love in the scented hay: And watch the sunshot palaces high, That the white clouds build in the breezy sky. She singeth, and I do make her a song, And read sweet poems the whole day long: Unseen as we lie in our haybuilt home, O, life is delight when June is come.
