Answer July

Answer July -
Where is the Bee -
Where is the Blush -
Where is the Hay?

Ah, said July -
Where is the Seed -
Where is the Bud -
Where is the May -
Answer Thee – Me -

Nay – said the May -
Show me the Snow -
Show me the Bells -
Show me the Jay!

Quibbled the Jay -
Where be the Maize -
Where be the Haze -
Where be the Bur?
Here – said the Year -

    Hello from Berlin,

    searching after this poem I found your site. In 2002 I named a piece of software (moon-calendar) to its last verse, which now has been published at http://www.moons.de/interface/jahr.

    Thanks for posting the poem,
    Gernot
