THE BALLADE OF THE SUMMER-BOARDER
LET all men living on earth take heed,
For their own soul’s sake, to a rhyme well meant;
Writ so that he who runs may read—
We are the folk that a-summering went,
Who while the year was young were bent—
Yea, bent on doing this self-same thing
Which we have done unto some extent.
