Some day when the golden gloryA
Of June is over the earthB
And the birds are singing togetherC
In a wild mad strain of mirthB
When the skies are as clear and cloudlessD
As the skies in June can beA
I would like to have the summonsE
Sent down from God to meA
-
Some glowing golden morningF
In the heart of the summer timeG
As I stand in the perfect vigourC
And strength of my youth's glad primeG
When my heart is light and happyA
And the word seems to bright to meA
I would like to dropp from this earth lifeH
As a green leaf drops from a treeA
-
I would not wait for the furrowsE
For the faded eyes and hairC
But pass out swift and suddenI
Ere I grow heart sick with careC
I would break some morn in my singingF
Or fall in my springing walkJ
As a full blown flower will sometimesE
Drop all a bloom from the stalkJ
-
I think the leaf would soonerC
Be the first to break awayK
Than to hang alone in the orchardL
In the bleak November dayK
And I think the fate of the flowerC
That falls in the midst of bloomM
Is sweeter than if it lingeredL
To die in the autumn's gloomM
-
And so in my youth's glad morningF
While the summer walks abroadN
I would like to hear the summonsE
That must come sometime from GodO
I would pass from the earth's perfectionI
To the endless June aboveP
From the fullness of living and lovingF
To the noon of Immortal LoveP
