Take your cue summer sunshine and walk in.
Cold winter has taken his curtain call.
Now let the symphony of new life begin –
With a serenade of birdsong as day falls.
Make your debut now, oh summer sun –
The audience applauds your longed for heat.
Upon their skin let your fingers gently run.
The warmth of summer's sunshine is so sweet.
Now perform your best, summer season.
Encourage forth new life without a cue,
Each with its own appointed time and reason -
Hills, dales and woodlands quietly renew.
Thrill your audience with a spectacular show
Warming the cold earth and ripening wheat.
A glorious finale comes with autumnal glow
Your performance on this stage is now complete.
