Nature

When June Is Come, Then All the Day

by Robert Bridges 1844–1930

From Shorter Poems, Book IV

Nature

When June is come, then all the day
I'll sit with my love in the scented hay:
And watch the sunshot palaces high,
That the white clouds build in the breezy sky.

She singeth, and I do make her a song,
And read sweet poems the whole day long:
Unseen as we lie in our haybuilt home.
O life is delight when June is come.
