Thirty-seven is a summer day: Hour after hour of unspent light. Indeed, this is a time one needs the time, Rushing like a stream through the sublime, To make the manger ready for the night. Yet there is ample time to touch and play.   So it goes as vigor has its way: Everything arranged, arrayed, all right; Vested in the ancient paradigm Even as the barque across the bight Nimbly sails towards the waiting bay.
