It is officially Summer today.
I thought it would never come.
Many days while waiting and wishing,
My countenance appeared quite glum.
I dreamed of long days in the sun.
I thought of less time in the dark.

I counted as the days grew longer,
Praying for time to speed up.
Impatient with the cold and the gloom,
I often felt down in the dumps. ...
