and whistle us up a summer in the meadow.

We’re tired of the chill wind
clanging the shutters against the pane

lever up the sun to her place on a higher plane,
and sing the dew onto the grass.

too few to hold the dying rays of the sun,
bring us a longer day from a more temperate latitude.

Warm our hearts with your morning song,
heralding the heat of a rising summer day.
