A summer day

E. Nevin

It's pleasant to rest on a stile at noon

When the meadow's aflower and the month is June,

And to take your ease on a summer day

When nobody's likely to pass that way.

And it's pleasant to whistle and walk a mile

For the sake of passing a certain stile,

When it isn't likely that one would care

If somebody chanced to be resting there.
