Sailing on a sea of

Summer green

Smiling back at me the

Sunny summer green

Bailing the boat

Catching a dragonfly

Lying back staring up

Into the sky

With the sun in my eye

Peaking through the leaves of

Summer green

Waking from the dreams of

Sunny summer green

Dropping a line

Tying a handkerchief

Flirting with summerfolk

Just passing by

With the sun in their eye

I dare not say

What I have dreamed

She would not understand

But when her heart

With sunlight gleams

Then I shall have her hand

Playing, straying through

Summer green

Praying, staying in

Sunny summer green

Catching a glint

Hinting by mercury

Curing and calling

The lovers that sigh

With the sun, with the sun

In their eye
