We Hail Thee Glorious Summer

We hail thee, glorious summer,

We welcome thee today,

With all thy flowery legions

And all thy songbirds gay.

The happy rills to meet thee

With merry laughter run;

While woodland banners great thee,

Beneath a smiling sun.

Summer Birds

Greg Giordano

We hail thee, joyous summer!

We welcome thee today!

With all thy flowery legion,

And all thy songbirds gay.

We hail thy smile of gladness

O Summer fair and sweet;

O let us lay all sadness

And sighing at thy feet.

"We Hail Thee Glorious Summer"

Alice Jean Cleator
