Page 10-B Poet’s Comer A Summer Smile By Murrell Smith With ail these lovely tokens all the summer days are spent In every meadow and field the summer will flaunt her green fields and harvest for everyone who cares. The butterfly and honeybee proposes a merry race, the cricket composes an unceasing melody, the poor church mouse is finally fat and the birds silhouette against the «nn«»t - and the silkworms sleep on die leaves of the mulberry trees - the summer is smiling * In the spreading chestnut trees; where the birds nest are seen - thankful for the blessings that the summer days bring - through the bright radiant days their happy days are spent. This the years roll onward and forward not looking back or caring - not thankful for the blessing of what might have been - and not smoothing one’s way through life - the summer is smiling at us - The grass is emerald green; everywhere around you shades of colors are seen - the breezes are over the land - in the ponds and sounds • the summer is smiles at us. For in his amusing way- he will fill both bin and barn - until there is room for no more - The mouse with his belly full will lay down and sleep by the smiling sun. Upward he gazes where the white clouds play - Up here high in the blue sky ; they stretch on the meadows and green field they roll and frolic and chase like spotted puppies at play - It is quite beyond dispute that summer smiles at us - and does not have the time to be sad or gloomy - but wears a bright radiant face - For she is sought and cherished like a little girl and is loved by everyone who wears a radiant face - For summer is the season we dearest love - our hearts are tender and filled with love - the smell of summer is everywhere for she is smiling at us - like a little girl. The 4th of July is an illustration of what is sublime in mankind- All of the occurrence existing for you. The boats rocking lazily in the bay ; to and fro - Their piercing lights is like a ray through a pinprick in a window shade - glittering in the darks. In the faint glimmer of moonlight a cascade of fireworks in an arrangement of lace falling zigzag in various rainbows - over a waterfall All of this for you - it all seems like an illusion rather than reality.
