A scarlet host display


The garish Summer comes with many tribes 

Of gay & gaudy flowers in bright array
But the hot sun the cloudy morning bribes
& dries all moisture with his scorching ray
Corn-poppies oft a scarlet host display
The oak woods green like rocky masses hing 
On wooded hills the willows waving grey
Hang mournful in the stream birds cease to sing
