Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFAA GHI JKKLLHG MMNNOOFFJJMM AAPPQQKKRRAA| When Summer comes | A |
| To silence the retreating drums | A |
| Of stubborn Winter when content | B |
| Shall salve my chill predicament | C |
| And I shall loll beneath the sun | D |
| And dream of duties to be done | D |
| While Phyllis my tall beaker fills | E |
| And Strephon dances on the hills | E |
| And pipes a lay I'll take my ease | F |
| And listen to the labouring bees | F |
| And mock their dull industrious hums | A |
| When Summer comes | A |
| - | |
| When Summer's here | G |
| And labourers look upon their beer | H |
| Most lovingly while winking foam | I |
| Lisps 'Send me home Ah send me home ' | - |
| And they intoning briefly ''Sluck ' | - |
| Its gladness 'neath their pinnies tuck | J |
| I too mayhap shall send a pot | K |
| Spurlos versunken to that spot | K |
| Its magic warms lest that stern man | L |
| Who rules my dietetic plan | L |
| Burbles 'Verboten ' as I fear | H |
| When Summer's here | G |
| - | |
| When Summer shines | M |
| Then to blue seas my choice inclines | M |
| Where nymphs upon the golden sands | N |
| Hold out Nirvana in glad hands | N |
| Or run to greet the languorous sea | O |
| And with mer maiden modesty | O |
| Frisk in foam Then would I seize | F |
| Despite my ageing arteries | F |
| Joy by the beard Unless alack | J |
| A flock of olden ills come back | J |
| As come they will by all the signs | M |
| When Summer shines | M |
| - | |
| When Summer comes | A |
| Oh let me loll 'neath sunlit gums | A |
| Yet I don't know A man must eat | P |
| Come winter hail or summer heat | P |
| And that he eat a man must toil | Q |
| Aye tho' arterial systems boil | Q |
| Wherefore 'twill likely be my lot | K |
| As hitherto when days wax hot | K |
| To yearn again in longing lays | R |
| For brisk crisp Winter's bracing days | R |
| To earn a few poor meagre crumbs | A |
| When Summer comes | A |
