Happy June everyone. It is hard to believe that we are already halfway thought this year already. I thought I would start off this month by posting a lovely poem about June.
Read and enjoy with your tea time!
My Lovely June
Valerie Dohren
O come sweet June, my lovely June
The month when first the roses bloom –
A wondrous, colourful display
By sunlight kissed throughout the day,
So chasing all my cares away.
And fixed above, the starry bull,
Glittering there, so beautiful,
Adorning thus the northern skies
Whene’er the dazzling daylight dies –
‘Tis like a glimpse of Paradise.
Then climbing high in heav’ns expanse
The sun ascends, to so enhance
The splendour that is all around.
O June, fair June, wherein abound
The seasons gifts, which full surround,
With flower petals soft unfurled
And vines around the trellis curled.
The grass is sweet and richly green
With shining luminescent sheen –
Your face, my June, a beauteous scene.
Carnations flourish through the years
Bursting forth from Mary’s tears,
And Honeysuckle-scented air,
No other fragrance does compare –
I seek to ever tarry there.
O June, dear June, for you I wait –
My longing ever shall abate
When you recur with all your grace
To lift my heart and light my face,
And thus my soul to full embrace.
Such pure delight, all heaven sent,
O June, my June, you bring content.
‘Tis you for whom I ever yearn,
Awaiting thus your prized return –
O June, my lovely June sojourn.
