A Song Of Summer Days

Topics: classic

As pearls slip off a silken string and fall into the sea,     These rounded summer days fall back into eternity.     Into the deep from whence they came; into the mystery -     At set of sun each one slips back as pearls into the sea.     They are so sweet - so warm and sweet - Love fain would hold them fast:     He weeps when through his finger tips they slip away at last.
