'T is fine to play
In the fragrant hay,
And romp on the golden load;
To ride old Jack
To the barn and back,
Or tramp by a shady road.
To pause and drink,
At a mossy brink;
Ah, that is the best of joy.
And so I say,
On a summer's day,
What's so fine as being a boy? Ha, Ha!

With line and hook
By a babbling brook,
The fisherman's sport we ply;
And list the song
Of the feathered throng
That flit in the branches nigh.
At last we strip
For a quiet dip.
Ah, that is the best of joy.
For this, I say
On a summer's day,
What's so fine as being a boy? Ha Ha!


-Paul Laurence Dunbar

Erin, the capture of the swaying grasses leads your eye right to the romping children. Very well captured and a perfect bit of prose to beautifully illustrate your capture.

Perfect mix of image and text. So simple yet one we all long for - the long summer day without a care in the world. I love how small the boys are. It speaks volumes of our real importance in the scheme of things!!!
