Eugene Field - Summer HeatEugene Field - Summer Heat
Work rating: Low


Nay, why discuss this summer heat,     Of which vain people tell?   Oh, sinner, rather were it meet     To fix thy thoughts on hell!   The punishment ordained for you     In that infernal spot   Is het by Satan`s impish crew     And kept forever hot.   Sumatra might be reckoned nice,     And Tophet passing cool,   And Sodom were a cake of ice     Beside that sulphur pool.   An awful stench and dismal wail     Come from the broiling souls,   Whilst Satan with his fireproof tail     Stirs up the brimstone coals.   Oh, sinner, on this end `tis meet     That thou shouldst ponder well,   For what, oh, what, is worldly heat     Unto the heat of hell?
