Behold the glory of this summer day,

and let not our thoughts be drawn away

by the uncertainty of tomorrows storms.

when before us lies the earth adorned

in all the splendor of her finest dress,

allowing our hearts a serene passage

through the gracious company of her flowers,

where we may while away a wistful hour,

enveloped by her fragrant sighs,

and dream on the wings of butterflies.

unless it be through the earth's loveliness. "
