IN THE HEART OF JUNE

James Whitcomb Riley

In the heart of June, love, You and I together, On from dawn till noon, love, Laughing with the weather;

Blending both our souls, love, In the selfsame tune, Drinking all life holds, love, In the heart of June.

In the heart of June, love, With its golden weather, Underneath the moon, love, You and I together.

Ah! how sweet to seem, love, Drugged and half aswoon With this luscious dream, love, In the heart of June.
