For him in vain the envious seasons roll,
Who bears eternal summer in his soul

James Russell Lowell, The Vision of Sir Launfal
No price is set on the lavish summer;
June may be had by the poorest comer.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Then followed that beautiful season,
Called by the pious Acadian peasants the Summer of All-Saints!
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new-created in all the freshness of childhood.
John Donne
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.
Alfred Austin
Tears are the summer showers to the soul.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
O summer day beside the joyous sea!
O summer day so wonderful and white,
So full of gladness and so full of pain!
Forever and forever shalt thou be
To some the gravestone of a dead delight,
To some the landmark of a new domain.
William Ernest Henley
Here is the ghost of a summer that lived for us,
Here is a promise of summer to be.
Russell Baker
Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it.
Wallace Stevens
The summer night is like a perfection of thought.
Celia Thaxter
There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart.
