Summer Farewell Song

< This is the poem I wrote two years ago for the Talent Show. Why I'm posting it now and didn't post it a long time ago, I don't know...>

Oh, Summer sweet, though you must end,

And let your leaves now fall,

And all your birds must fly away-

Oh, goodbye! Goodbye all!

You let us run with sweaters off,

And shed our shoes for you,

Though we will miss you greatly soon,

Winter's always lovely, too.

I can not wait 'till you return,

But tears I shed are crazed,

For I know that I shall wait for you,

And by snowflakes all are amazed.

When bird song comes again to me,

With joy again I'll sing,

But 'till your time I'll rest content,

And admire this lovely thing.
