Send up the fireworks! The sun has returned!
Here’s balm for the bees, and to please
all who wander here at the forest’s edge.
The long-awaited summer has arrived.
Let the celebrations begin, the hoorahs
go forth. Greet this glory with singing.
For now, at least, the rains have ceased,
and the sun warms the green sea of foliage
gone wild and red flowers bursting with joy.
