Summer or Winter
Author Unknown
I do not know which I love best,
Because when summer's here
I wish that summer time would last
Right through all of the year.
But when some morning I awake
And find earth white with snow;
Oh! then I wish the winter days
Would never, never go.
I actually often find myself feeling the opposite sentiments from this poem. On a hot Summer day, like today promises to be, I long for a cold winter wind. But during the freezing Winter I can’t wait for warm days on the beach!

"Summer's the season I love best
In the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best!"
...with apologies to Donovan!

Colours (by Donovan)
Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair
In the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best
Blue's the colour of the sky-y
In the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best
Green's the colour of the sparklin' corn
In the morning, when we rise
In the morning, when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best
Mellow is the feeling that I get
When I see her, m-hmm
When I see her, oh yeah
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best
Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinking, oh yeah
Without thinking, m-hmm
Of the time, of the time
When I've been loved
Summer for me here
