June Hymn

Here's a hymn to welcome in the day Heralding a summer's early sway And all the bulbs all coming in To begin The thrushes bleating battle with the wrens Disrupts my reverie again Pegging clothing on the line Training jasmine how to vine Up the arbor to your door And more You're standing on the landing with the war You shouldered all the night before And once upon it The yellow bonnets Garland all the lawn And you were waking And day was breaking A panoply of song And summer comes to Springville Hill A barony of ivy in the trees Expanding out its empire by degrees And all the branches burst to bloom In the boom Heaven sent this cardinal maroon To decorate our living room And once upon it The yellow bonnets Garland all the lawn And you were waking And day was breaking A panoply of song And summer comes to Springville Hill And years from now when this old light Isn't ambling anymore Will I bring myself to write "I give my best to Springville Hill" And once upon it The yellow bonnets Garland all the lawn And you were waking And day was breaking A panoply of song And summer comes to Springville Hill
