Paul Laurence Dunbar - A Boy`s Summer Song
Work rating: Low

`Tis fine to play
In the fragrant hay,
And romp on the golden load;
To ride old Jack
To the barn and back,
Or tramp by a shady road.
To pause and drink,
At a mossy brink;
Ah, that is the best of joy,
And so I say
On a summer`s day,
What`s so fine as being a boy? Ha, Ha!
With line and hook
By a babbling brook,
The fisherman`s sport we ply;
And list the song
Of the feathered throng
That flit in the branches nigh. 
At last we strip
For a quiet dip;
Ah, that is the best of joy.
For this I say
On a summer`s day,
What`s so fine as being a boy? Ha, Ha!
