JUNE NIGHTS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: When the long day dies in summer and flowers are closing
Last Line: Lurks all night long low down on the skyline gray.
Subject(s): June; Night; Summer; Bedtime


WHEN the long day dies in summer and flowers are closing,
They scatter their odours that thrill thro' the drowsy sense,
And our eyelids fall, while the sense, alert, lies dozing
And behind our slumber we gaze thro' a cloudless lens.

Then the stars are brighter, the dark has more soft concealment,
And over the dome of heav'n is a hue of day,
And the shy, dim dawn, awaiting the sun's fulfilment,
Lurks all night long low down on the skyline gray.
