— June
Do you recall that night in JuneWe watched the moonbeams quiver.
I gazed upon the glorious skyThe rich, green mountain-turf should break.
What joy have I in June's return?And turns me "dust to dust."
June falls asleep upon her bier of flowers;Her hours are numbered on the floral dial.
And what is so rare as a day in June?And over it softly her warm ear lays.
So sweet, so sweet the roses in their blowing,From flower to flower, a-hunting with the bee.
It is the month of June,And pleasant scents the noses.
