A Midsummer Night’s Dream on Solstice Eve
When the Earth becomes drunk with the Sun’s light,
Becomes higher than the Sun at mid-Day,
When fairies sparkle on midsummer’s night,
Then mortals dream a world that’s far away,
Another world, where Robin’s bringing luck,
A world of magic plays within a play,
Where Oberon, Titania, and Puck
Come into view, dust dancing on a ray,
There among the flowers and the trees,
Enchanting lovers and players of love,
With birdsongs and firelight, like honey bees,
They’ll spread the pollen of the Sun above,
On golden rays of life that stay and stay,
As summer’s night comes after summer’s day.
