Summer 

Moment

A gentle wind hath risen

     Out of the heated day…

May my soul be forgiven

     Its dreams! Oh, let me pray

That this freshening hour

     May cling to memory

And have years after power

     To be remembered[1] in me!

It is[2] very little, I know,

     But it is happiness,

And the hours[3] are but few

     That we can really bless…

Let me therefore breath in

     Into my memory

This hour and may it begin

     Again whenever I see

My heart grow heavy and hot,

     My thoughts grow close and late,

O soft breeze, fan my thought!

     O calmness brush my fate!
