The world is sleepy, enjoys the heat
so many smells the air tastes sweet
from flowers, honey, grass and hay
kids and sprinklers, time to play.
**
I hear the humming of the bees
I feel the soft wind in the trees
leaves give shadows very rare
humid and heavy is the air.
**
Birds stop feeding all their brood
it is time for adulthood.
No time to keep them safely hedged
they fly free are fully fledged.
**
Birds are sleeping in the trees
they start singing at the silence of bees
when slowly sunbeams are going to sleep
before the world starts sleeping deep.
**
What a wonderful relaxing time
when nature is right on its prime.
But deep inside we know it all
we are expecting soon the fall.
**
But for now we all enjoy the smiles
the smell of ice cream over miles.
The swim in lakes, in pools in sea
In summertime we all feel free.
