From Sunshine to Harvest Moon
Golden sun rays play,
Children laugh and run,
Fields of green delight,
Summer’s song is sung.
August days are bright,
Long and lazy beams,
Blue skies endless reach,
Dreams float in the breeze.
September whispers change,
Cool nights softly creep,
Leaves begin their dance,

Crisp air nips at dusk,
Stories old unfold.
October nights grow long,
Harvest moon ascends,
Summer bids farewell,
Autumn gently blends.
