June

Oh June, is there anything nicer?

In the winter I forget how green everything can be,

so each June I am amazed once again at all God's created!

 

 

June  --  by John Clare

 

'Now summer is in flower and natures hum

Is never silent round her sultry bloom

 

 

Insects as small as dust are never done

Wi' glittering dance and reeling in the sun

 

 

And green wood fly and blossom hunting bee

Are never weary of their melody

 

 

Round field hedge now flowers in full glory twine

Large bindweed bells wild hop and streaked woodbine

 

 

That lift athirst their slender throated flowers

Agape for dew falls and for honey showers

 

 

These round each bush in sweet disorder run

And spread their wild hues to the sultry sun.'

 

I hope you can get out and enjoy June, wherever you live!
