James Whitcomb Riley - When June Is HereJames Whitcomb Riley - When June Is Here
Work rating: Low


When June is here--what art have we to sing     The whiteness of the lilies midst the green     Of noon-tranced lawns? Or flash of roses seen   Like redbirds` wings? Or earliest ripening   Prince-Harvest apples, where the cloyed bees cling     Round winey juices oozing down between     The peckings of the robin, while we lean   In under-grasses, lost in marveling.     Or the cool term of morning, and the stir   Of odorous breaths from wood and meadow walks,     The bobwhite`s liquid yodel, and the whir   Of sudden flight; and, where the milkmaid talks   Across the bars, on tilted barley-stalks     The dewdrops` glint in webs of gossamer.
