SUDDEN swallows swiftly skimming, Sunset's slowly spreading shade, Silvery songsters sweetly singing, Summer's soothing serenade. Susan Simpson strolled sedately, Stifling sobs, suppressing sighs. Seeing Stephen Slocum, stately She stopped, showing some surprise. "Say," said Stephen, "sweetest sigher; Say, shall Stephen spouseless stay?" Susan, seeming somewhat shyer, Showed submissiveness straightway. Summer's season slowly stretches, Susan Simpson Slocum she -- So she signed some simple sketches -- Soul sought soul successfully. . . . . . . . Six Septembers Susan swelters; Six sharp seasons snow supplies; Susan's satin sofa shelters Six small Slocums side by side. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROBIN REDBREAST by MOTHER GOOSE SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 105 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI EYE-WITNESS by FREDERICK RIDGELY TORRENCE THE BUOY-BELL by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER MAKE FRIENDS by ALI IBN ABU TALIB DOG AND CAT by RUTH ANDERSON BARNETT DEDICATIONS AND INSCRIPTIONS: 11.
