Summer's Gold

                               

"Fairest of the months

Ripe summer's queen

The hey-day of the year

With robes that gleam with sunny sheen

Sweet August doth appear."

~ R. Combe Miller

Warm August Nights

How sociable the garden was
We ate and talked in given light.
The children put their toys to grass
All the warm wakeful August night."

~ Thomas Gunn, Last Days at Teddington

Summer's Gold

"Fairest of the months
Ripe summer's queen
The hey-day of the year
With robes that gleam with sunny sheen
Sweet August doth appear."
