El verano en la ciudad / Summertime in the city

Summertime / El verano

Here comes summer
Here comes summer
Chirping Robins, budding roses
Here comes summer
Here comes summer
Gentle showers, summer clothes
Here comes summer
Here comes summer
Whoosh-shiver there it goes

Faith Long

El verano que empieza…

El solsticio de verano,
las hogueras de San Juan
Eran días de verano,
dice la canción de Amaral…
Y soñamos con el verde
de los bosques, la espesura;
de los robles, la verdura
de la montaña.

Con los duendes
Como Puck,
Del Sueño de
una noche de verano,
Con las amapolas
silvestres
de los campos;
de trigo

Con la apacible
sonrisa del amigo;
con la dulce canción
del agua; con
las golondrinas,
Que planean
Sobre nuestras
más que ajetreadas
Existencias.

El verano que empieza
es como un sueño,
una promesa,
Un manantial
Transparente,
Para mí,
para ti,
y querría que lo fuera
para los seres humanos
todos, sin otro color
que el verde
de la naturaleza.
Mari Carmen López

Summer time!

Summer Poem

Summer brings us nice warm sun
For swimming, fishing, and lots of fun
For finding seashells in the sand
For sunbathing to get a tan
To do all these things and more
At the beach and seashore

Summer Comes Poem

The Little darling Spring has run away
The sunshine grew too hot for her to stay
She kissed her sister, Summer,and she said
"When I am gone, you must be queen instead"
Now reigns the Lady Summer, round whose feet
A thousand fairies flock with blossoms sweet.

Bed In Summer Poem

In winter I get up at night,
And dress by yellow candle light.
In summer quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day,

I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown up people's feet
Still going past me in the street,

And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?

by Robert Louis Stevenson
