The streamlet's slumber song

While beneath a cloudless sky

Swallows over meadows fly

Bees are droning lazy tunes

Through the sultry noons

Drowsily I flow along

Murmuring my sleepy song

Slower softer still it sighs

To a whisper dies

While among the new-mown grass

Crickets cry Ah soon alas

Bee and brook will sing no more

Summer will be o'er

Drowsily I flow along

Murmuring my sleepy song

Slower softer still it sighs

To a whisper dies.
