The Spring has grown to Summer	A
The sun is fierce and high	B
The city shrinks and withers	C
Beneath the burning sky	B
Ailantus trees are fragrant	D
And thicker shadows cast	E
Where berry girls with voices shrill	F
And watering carts go past	E
	-
In offices like ovens	G
We sit without our coats	H
Our cuffs are moist and shapeless	I
No collars binds our throats	H
We carry huge umbrellas	J
On Broad Street and on Wall	K
Oh how thermometers go up	L
And oh how stocks do fall	K
	-
The nights are full of music	M
Melodious Teuton troops	N
Beguile us calmly smoking	O
On balconies and stoops	N
With eyes half shut and dreamy	P
We watch the fire flies' spark	Q
And image far off faces	J
As day dies into dark	Q
	-
The avenue is lonely	P
The houses choked with dust	R
The shutters barred and bolted	S
The bell knobs all a rust	R
No blossom like spring dresses	J
No faces young and fair	T
From Dickel's to The Brunswick	M
No promenader there	T
	-
The girls we used to walk with	U
Are far away alas	V
The feet that kissed its pavement	D
Are deep in country grass	V
Along the scented hedge rows	W
Among the green old trees	X
Are blooming city faces	J
'Neath rosy lined pongees	J
	-
They're cottaging at Newport	Y
They're bathing at Cape May	Z
In Saratoga's ball rooms	J
They dance the hours away	Z
Their voices through the quiet	A2
Of haunted Catskill break	B2
Or rouse those dreamy dryads	J
The nymphs of Echo Lake	B2
	-
The hands we've led through Germans	J
And squeezed perchance of yore	C2
Now deftly grasp the bridle	D2
The mallet and the oar	C2
The eyes that wrought our ruin	E2
On other men look down	F2
We're but the broken play things	J
They've left behind in town	F2
	-
Oh happy Gran'dame Nature	A
Whose wandering children come	G2
To light with happy faces	J
The dear old mother home	H2
Be tender with our darlings	J
Each merry maiden bears	J
Such love and longing with her	A
Men's lives are wrapped in theirs	J
