| June |
| Do you recall that night in June Upon the Danube River; We listened to the ländler-tune, We watched the moonbeams quiver. Charles A. Aïdé—Danube River. | 1 |
| I gazed upon the glorious sky And the green mountains round, And thought that when I came to lie At rest within the ground, ’Twere pleasant, that in flowery June, When brooks send up a cheerful tune, And groves a joyous sound, The sexton’s hand, my grave to make, The rich, green mountain-turf should break. Bryant—June. | 2 |
| What joy have I in June’s return? My feet are parched—my eyeballs burn, I scent no flowery gust; But faint the flagging Zephyr springs, With dry Macadam on its wings, And turns me “dust to dust.” Hood—Town and Country. Ode Imitated from Horace. | 3 |
| June falls asleep upon her bier of flowers; In vain are dewdrops sprinkled o’er her, In vain would fond winds fan her back to life, Her hours are numbered on the floral dial. Lucy Larcom—Death of June. L. 1. | 4 |
| And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays. Lowell—The Vision of Sir Launfal. | 5 |
| So sweet, so sweet the roses in their blowing, So sweet the daffodils, so fair to see; So blithe and gay the humming-bird a-going From flower to flower, a-hunting with the bee. Nora Perry—In June. | 6 |
| It is the month of June, The month of leaves and roses, When pleasant sights salute the eyes And pleasant scents the noses. N. P. Willis—The Month of June. | 7 |
