Philip Larkin - Mother, Summer, IPhilip Larkin - Mother, Summer, I
Work rating:
Low
My mother, who hates thunder storms,
Holds up each summer day and shakes
It out suspiciously, lest swarms
Of grape-dark clouds are lurking there;
But when the August weather breaks
And rains begin, and brittle frost
Sharpens the bird-abandoned air,
Her worried summer look is lost,
And I her son, though summer-born
And summer-loving, none the less
Am easier when the leaves are gone
Too often summer days appear
Emblems of perfect happiness
I can`t confront: I must await
A time less bold, less rich, less clear:
An autumn more appropriate.
