  What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
  Only two things that money can't buy
  That's true love and home grown tomatoes.

• The linden, in the fervors of July,
  Hums with a louder concert. When the wind
  Sweeps the broad forest in its summer prime,
  As when some master-hand exulting sweeps
  The keys of some great organ, ye give forth
  The music of the woodland depths, a hymn
  Of gladness and of thanks.

  William C. Bryant

  Keys, July, Hands

  William Cullen Bryant, “Among The Trees”

• Now summer is in flower and natures hum
  Is never silent round her sultry bloom
  Insects as small as dust are never done
  Wi' glittering dance and reeling in the sun
  And green wood fly and blossom haunting bee
  Are never weary of their melody
  Round field hedge now flowers in full glory twine
  Large bindweed bells wild hop and streakd woodbine
  That lift athirst their slender throated flowers
  Agape for dew falls and for honey showers
  These round each bush in sweet disorder run
  And spread their wild hues to the sultry sun.

• This was one of those perfect New England days in late summer where the spirit of autumn takes a first stealing flight, like a spy, through the ripening country-side, and, with feigned sympathy for those who droop with August heat, puts her cool cloak of bracing air about leaf and flower and human shoulders.

• When on a summer's morn I wake,
  And open my two eyes,
  Out to the clear, born-singing rills
  My bird-like spirit flies.
  
  To hear the Blackbird, Cuckoo, Thrush,
  Or any bird in song;
  And common leaves that hum all day
  Without a throat or tongue.
  
  And when Time strikes the hour for sleep,
  Back in my room alone,
  My heart has many a sweet bird's song -
  And one that's all my own.

  W. H. Davies
