Now the time for long walk meadows
Now the summer, now the song
Borne from dawn 'til evening shadows
Sweetening scents grow lush and strong

Cast we off the cloaks of winter
Worn through Springtime's sudden chill
Warm in silence, cool light banter
Bring me 'round your cup to fill

Let us drink to love in Summer
All that shines and blossoms fair
Toast it with the wine of pleasure
Warm the sunlight in my hair

Rise we in the rose-hued morning
Greet the sun to warm the day
Fill the air with sounds of singing
Laugh like children at their play

Find delight in every hour
Warmth and joy to fill our days
Newly-sown is now to flower
'Tis the solstice cup we raise

Let us drink to love in Summer
Time in Autumn to be wise
Toast it with the wine of pleasure
Warmed by sunlight in your eyes
