Hunter-Duvar, John: August - ZaunköniG - 02.07.2007 August O August, brown and sleepy-eyed and mellow, Cinctured with vines and straying here and there, And permeating all the odorous air With an aureole of translucent yellow,-- A thridded amber mist athwart the sun; Most lovable art thou beyond compare, Of all thy sisters like thee there is none, Not blushing June nor the coquettish May, Nor April that unknowing weeps and smiles, Nor fervid July sunning all the isles, Nor yet the cold white months with steely hair That wrap in shrouds to show the year is done. Stay with us, sleepy mellow month, O stay! Here in some garden house by some lone bay. |
