Beautiful Things
By Anonymous
Beautiful things there are coming this way
Nearer and nearer, every day
Yes, closer and closer.
Mischievous showers, and faint little smells
Of far-away flowers in far-away dells,
Are coming in April.
Sly little blossoms that clamber along
Close to the ground till they grow big and strong,
Are coming in May.
Roses and bees and a big yellow moon,
Coming together in beautiful June
In lovely midsummer.
Pretty red cherries, and bright little flies,
Twinkling and turning the fields into skies,
Will come in July.
Feathery clouds, and long, still afternoons
Scarce a leaf stirring, and birdies’ soft croons,
Are coming in August.
Glimpses of blue through the poppies and wheat.
And one little birthday on fast-flying feet,
Will come in September.
