THE SUMMER GIRL, by                    
First Line: I wooed her in the summer months
Last Line: And left me to my fate
Subject(s): Summer


I WOOED her in the summer months,
When all the world was gay,
And on the hillside, in the sun,
The yellow harvest lay,
And late, across the level lawns,
The twilight met the day.

Together, in the garden walks,
At early morn we went;
Together, in the deep green groves,
The drowsy noontide spent;
And in the evening watched how well
The sunset glories blent.

Oh, happy morn! The trysting oak
Hung o'er the orchard gate.
I waited for her in the shade --
I had quite long to wait,
For with the coachman she eloped
And left me to my fate.
