“My Heart in the Summer”
I wish to reside in the deep dark wood,
Where the hills hum their silent serenades.
And where all is quiet and all is good
I could wake as the sun begins to fade.
In a quaint little house is where I’d live,
Moonlight shining from chocolate-brown shingles
I’d scale every tree and climb each cliff
Until with cold my limbs start to tingle.
The woods are my world, they’re where I’d escape
From the chaos of the busy city.
A wild and blessèd child, it is my fate
To call to the mountains, bold and pretty.
I’d run and jump and climb and seize the day
For in the woods is where I’ll always stay.
