Summer Poems
My grandmother read me Summer Poems during warm and breezy days. The Family Poems of summer are filled stories of fun days and moonlit nights. They always bring to mind memories of sunshine, fresh fruit and laughter.-Grandma Mary
Apple Blossoms, by Horatio Alger
I sit in the shadow of apple-boughs,
In the fragrant orchard close,
And around me floats the scented air,
With its wave-like tidal flows.
I close my eyes in a dreamy bliss,
And call no king my peer;
For is not this the rare, sweet time,
The blossoming time of the year?
June, by Horatio Alger
Throw open wide your golden gates,
O poet-landed month of June,
And waft me, on your spicy breath,
The melody of birds in tune.
Summer, by Anonymous
What does bounteous summer bring?
The lengthen'd day and shortened night;
Milder breezes softly blowing,
Warmer suns, and skies more bright.
Summer Hours, by Horatio Alger
It is the year's high noon,
The earth sweet incense yields,
And o'er the fresh, green fields
Bends the clear sky of June.
