1946: AUGUST

August spreads enchantment
    O’er all the countryside,
With golden grain in harvest
    Where peace and calm abide;
And in her hands are treasures
    Of fruit and fragrant flowers,
And over all the sunshine
    To gild the summer hours.
But oh! how swift are passing
    These golden August days!
These fleeting hours of summer
    With morns of purple haze;
In vain we stay their passing,
    These days so calm and free,
Long may their presence linger
    In happy memory.
