Beautiful Blanket of July




Beautiful blanket of July
Sunflower, lily and butter-fly
Queen Ann’s lace in the wild hedge-row
Wheat fields rippling with golden flow

Beautiful blanket of July
Quilt beneath an azure sky
Locust and cricket serenade
Sweet-tea on throws of dappled shade

Beautiful blanket of July
Sultry minuet sparkling by
Of bare toes skimming clover-mead
Of fair rose dripping petals, red

Beautiful blanket of July
Heavenly splendor pleases the eye
Summer perfection pinned to the sky
Oh, beautiful blanket of July

  3. Yes, I was 'trigger' happy on Sunday as I laid in the back yard...and a few are taken out in the fields.
