Here you will find the Poem When Summer Comes In Her Glory of poet Christopher John Brennan

When Summer Comes In Her Glory

When summer comes in her glory and brave the whole earth blows, 
when colours burn and perfumes impassion the gladden'd air 
then methinks thy laughter seeks me on every breeze that goes 
and I feel thy breathing warmth about me everywhere. 
Or in the dreamy eve, when our soul is spread in the skies, 
when Life for an hour is hush'd, and the gaze is wide to behold 
what day may not show nor night, then sure it were no surprise 
to find thee beside me sitting, the pitying eyes of old. 
But ah, when the winter rains drive hard on the blacken'd pane 
and the grief of the lonely wind is lost in the waste outside, 
when the room is high and chill and I seek my place in vain, 
I know that seas splash cold in the night and the world is wide.
