\title{Summer}
\poemdedication{for Daniel Thomas}
\stanza*
Blazes the day\\
With heavy fruit abounding arm\\
To make a stay\\
Exclusive and enclose\\
Of all I chose.\\

\stanza*
In joyful toil\\
Pursue the promise golden made\\
To turn the soil\\
Sow, shelter, nurture, feed,\\
Desire as need.\\

\stanza*
Press on I must,\\
Exult as flower gives way to seed,\\
Past years’ growth trust,\\
No doubt to turn awry:\\
Love the bright sky.\\
