Les sons de l'été

The Sounds of Summer have come
Like a surging tide they roll in,
And fill the air with a glorious song.
With them has arrived a Beauty so fair
Bearing gifts of Gold:

Life
Light
Love
Hope

With united cause and hearts of joy
We celebrate the season until the Autumn's Dawn.
Then Fate meanders,
Destiny loses its way;
The cold Winter brings its Heirs:

Death
Darkness
Sorrow
Despair

And, alas, the Beauty leaves along with the surging tide
The Sounds of Summer are gone...

But they are sure to return.
