B. The End of Summer

Summer’s through with all its games and dances,

Gloomy autumn steadily advances.

Rich in clouds coming from nowhere,

Yellow leaves are worried by the cooling air,

By the fact that sunrays are quite rare.

That the tender summer is short-lived.

But it knows that summer’s lovely traces,

All its sweet caresses and embraces

Can’t be wiped by the severe storm.

Summer makes the heart forever warm!
