Oh, summer’s heat, br In my life it lit; br In the mind aims to penetrate, br This moment’s flame, how I hate. br br br Oppressing heat seems eternal, br Breeze that’s cool is but ephemeral; br Sultry nights embrace you so tight, br Blinding you in the magic shards of light. br br br Hell is the summer’s day, br With the sun’s burning ray; br It destroys thy once magnificent lea, br And turns to mud the beatific sea. br br br Oh, summer’s heat, br Wane the aches just a bit; br The puissant heat, wind can’t abate, br This moment’s flame, how I utterly hate.
