Summer-Day Song

Wild birds fly over me.

I am not the blue curtain overhead,

I am the one who lives under the sky.

I swing to the tree-tops,

I pick strawberries,

I sing and play,

And happiness makes me like a great god

On the earth.

It makes me think of great things

A little girl like me

Could not know of.
