Summer time

The sun is shining bright and clear, 

The sky is blue, the air is dear. 

The world is full of life and cheer,

 And all the birds are singing near.

The trees are green, the flowers bloom, 

The earth is free from winter’s gloom.

 The bees are buzzing, there’s no room

 For sadness, sorrow, or for doom.

The world is full of hope and light, 

And everything is just so right.

 So let us all enjoy the sight,

 And bask in nature’s pure delight.
