AUGUST, by                    
First Line: August days are hot and still
Last Line: August is too hot for play!
Subject(s): Drought; Summer; Sun


AUGUST days are hot and still,
Not a breath on house or hill,
Not a breath on height or plain,
Weary travelers cry for rain;
But the children quickly find
A shady place quite to their mind;
And there all quietly they stay,
Until the sun has gone away,—
August is too hot for play!
