It is late March in Austin and everything is shut down waiting for the Plague. This poem makes me feel better.
I have always loved this Poem and quoted it many many times over the years- yesterday was a perfect June day in my area of the Country and thought about this Poem a lot- I just celebrated my 77th Birthday!
I was born June 15,1942. June is a Gift. Today is a real Psalm 118, verse 24 day.
I memorized this poem when I was 16 and working in the vineyards of the finger lakes of New York.
I, too, remember this poem from when I was in high school in Cicero, Illinois. AND, I still remember the first 10 lines now that I am 89 years young.
