ON THE MONTH OF JUNE.
SWEETLY blushing May retires,
With her early sportive train;
Warm'd with bright aetherial fires,
June assumes the brilliant reign.
Now the rising southern gales
Warmly court the nodding trees;
Streams that wander through the vales,
Curling to the passing breeze.
Phoebe, from his throne on high,
Shines with double lustre bright,
Decking all yon azure sky
With the radiant garb of light.
From the southern climate borne,
Summer hastes to please a while;
Genial airs, at his return,
Bid the lusty zephyrs smile.
Whilst around the landscape glows,
Thousand beauties gay are spread;
Lo! the fairest flow'r that blows,
Graceful blushing rears her head.
Browner umbrage shades the woods,
Plants assume a deeper green;
Double radiance clothes the floods,
Shot from yonder skies serene.
Earth rejoicing bids display
Stores produc'd by vernal hours,
Scattering from her bosom gay
Early fruits and ling'ring flow'rs.
Thus the hours in mazy dance,
Follow still in time's career,
Till Pomona's train advance
Crowning the full ripen'd year.
While the glowing scenes that rise,
Still shall claim the poet's strain,
(Warm'd by genial summer skies)
June, to hail thy radiant reign.
