Five Summer Songs on Poems of Emily Dickinson: I know a place where summer strives

I know a place where summer strives - Budapest Symphony/Carole Wilson

I know a place where summer strives

With such a practised frost

She each year leads her daisies back

Recording briefly lost

But when the south wind stirs the pools

And struggles in the lanes

Her heart misgives her for her vow

And she pours soft

Refrains

Into the lap of adamant

And spices and the dew

That stiffens quietly to quartz

Upon her amber shoe
