I rhyme and I dance and I pun!

I knock on the pane with my knuckle—

For here is the Sun!

What portents of pleasure I fancy

Return with these bright sunny rays!

What visions of lazing I can see,

Of languorous, sweet Summer days;

Of yachting and sea-side diversions,

And getting as brown as a bun:

Of rambles and Alpine excursions—
