The first hot

Summer-like day

I walk the Tiglio Road

Through dense humid acacia

Clover and elderflower air

Like stepping into a shower

In any one of the many houses

In which I have lived

Or stayed

Full with sense and sensitivity

To smell the soapy steam

Someone has just left

    Your poem echoes across 700 years, to the arrival of another such day in an English glade:

    Sumer is i-cumin in,
    Lhude sing, cuccu!
    Groweth sed and bloweth med
    And springth the wude nu.
    Sing, cuccu!

    Awe bleteth after lamb,
    Lhouth after calve cu,
    Bulluc sterteth, bucke verteth,
    Murie sing, cuccu!

    Cuccu, cuccu,
    Wel singes thu, cuccu.
    Ne swik thu naver nu!

    Sing, cuccu, nu. Sing, cuccu.
