The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

When high the Sun in noonday glory rides,

Where willows keep the lake’s green margin cool,

The speckled trout amid their shadow hides,

And dragonflies haunt every shaded pool.

High noon in August! Over all the land

The very air is palpitant with heat;

While stretching far, the fields of ripening wheat

Unrippled lie as plains of yellow sand!

A northern air,

Brings weather fair.



The sharper the blast,

The sooner ’tis past.



Much wind brings rain.



No weather is ill,

If the wind be still.



After a storm comes a calm.

High noon in August! Over all the land







The very air is palpitant with heat;







While stretching far, the fields of ripening wheat







Unrippled lie as plains of yellow sand!

Buttercup nodded and said good-bye,

Clover and daisy went off together,

But the fragrant water lilies lie

Yet moored in the golden August weather.

Drawn up in serried ranks across the fields

That, as we gaze, seem ever to increase,

With tasseled flags and Sun-emblazoned shields,

The glorious army of Earth’s perfect peace.
