Hang out your loveliest star O Night O NightA
Your richest rose O DawnB
To greet sweet Summer her who clothed in lightA
Leads Earth's best hours onC
Hark how the wild birds of the woodsD
Throat it within the dewy solitudesD
The brook sings low and softE
The trees make songF
As from her heaven aloftG
Comes blue eyed Summer like a girl alongF
-
IIH
-
And as the Day her lover leads her inI
How bright his beauty glowsD
How red his lips that ever try to winI
Her mouth's delicious roseD
And from the beating of his heartJ
Warm winds arise and sighing thence departJ
And from his eyes and hairK
The light and dewL
Fall round her everywhereK
And Heaven above her is an arch of blueL
-

-
Come to the forest or the treeless meadowsD
Deep with their hay or grainM
Come where the hills lift high their thrones of shadowsD
Where tawny orchards reignM
Come where the reapers whet the scytheN
Where golden sheaves are heaped where berriers blytheO
With willow basket and with pailP
Swarm knoll and plainM
Where flowers freckle every valeP
And beauty goes with hands of berry stainM
-
IVQ
-
Come where the dragon flies a brassy blueL
Flit round the wildwood streamsD
And sucking at some horn of honey dewL
The wild bee hums and dreamsD
Come where the butterfly waves wings of sleepR
Gold disked and mottled over blossoms deepR
Come where beneath the rustic bridgeS
The green frog criesD
Or in the shade the rainbowed midgeS
Above the emerald pools with murmurings fliesD
-
VQ
-
Come where the cattle browse within the brakeT
As red as oak and strongF
Where far off bells the echoes faintly wakeT
And milkmaids sing their songF
Come where the vine trailed rocks with waters hoaryQ
Tell to the sun some legend or some storyQ
Or where the sunset to the landU
Speaks words of goldV
Where ripeness walks a wheaten bandU
Around her hair and blossoms manifoldV
-
VIQ
-
Come where the woods lift up their stalwart armsD
Unto the star sown skiesD
Knotted and gnarled that to the winds and stormsD
Fling mighty rhapsodiesD
Or to the moon repeat what they have seenW
When Night upon their shoulders vast doth leanW
Come where the dew's clear syllableX
Drips from the roseD
And where the fire flies fillY
The night with golden music of their glowsD
-
VIIQ
-
Now while the dingles and the vine roofed glensD
Whisper their flowery taleP
Unto the silence and the lakes and fensD
Unto the moonlight paleP
Murmur their rapture let us seek her outZ
Her of the honey throat and peachy poutZ
Summer and at her feetA2
The love of oldV
Lay like a sheaf of wheatA2
And of our hearts the purest gold of goldV
