Summer9 quotes
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date. — William Shakespeare · 1609Inebriate of Air - am I -
And debauchee of dew -
Reeling - thro endless summer days -
From inns of Molten Blue. — Emily Dickinson · 1861And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days. — James Russell Lowell · 1848Summer time and the livin' is easy,
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high.
Oh, yo' daddy's rich and yo' ma' is good-lookin',
So hush, little baby, don' yo' cry. — Ira Gershwin · 1935Now the summer came to pass
And flowers through the grass
Joyously sprang,
While all the tribes of birds sang. — Walther von der Vogelweide · 1230Wheree'er you walk, cool gales shall fan the glade,
Trees, where you sit, shall crowd into a shade:
Where'er you tread, the blushing flowers shall rise,
And all things flourish where you turn your eyes. — Alexander Pope · 1709All 9 quotes →Seasons7 quotes
