Summer's Bloom

by Treischel


As season sends a summer's bloom, I'll play in clover fields,
Enchanted as the lovely flowered grass's fragrance yields
A bountiful bouquet arrayed in colorful costume.
I'll play in clover fields as season sends a summer's bloom.

As I make my morning pass, I'll run barefoot through the grass,
All over dew drops making rainbows, like a prism glass,
To be accounted with the greatest treasures I'll amass.
I'll run barefoot through the grass as I make my morning pass.

I'll find a swing to swing on, just to glide in summer air.
Then down a slippery slide I'll descend while playing there.
My joy is so profound. Embrace the season 'fore it's gone.
Just to glide in summer air, I'll find a swing to swing on.

Come out from that stuffy house to enjoy the fresh clean air.
Run barefoot through the clover that is growing everywhere.
The wonders will be waiting. Bring the children and the spouse.
To enjoy the fresh clean air, come out from that stuffy house.
