Midsummer. 
Bright falls the sunshine on the living land; 
It is the high tide of the happy year; 
The long, sweet days change into nights so clear 
That heaven seems leaning to our lifted hand. 
Each sentient creature in his measure knows 
The high tide of the utmost joy of life; 
No longer with the elements at strife. 
All revel in the bliss each hour bestows. 
The soft, deep grasses ripple like the sea; 
The south wind dreams among the fair, glad flowers; 
Thick plumes of verdure crown each stately tree; 
Birds come and go among the leafy bowers; 
And evermore we wonder: "Can it be 
That heaven is faire^ than this world of ours?^' 
— Poem quoted by the President in opening the first Business Meeting of the Annual 
Meeting of igzo.
