Warm Summer Sun

Warm Summer Sun - meaning Summary

A Gentle Pastoral Farewell

A brief, lullaby-like farewell that uses gentle natural imagery to soothe and bless a sleeping or dead loved one. The poem invokes warm sun, soft southern wind, and green sod to create a peaceful, consoling scene. Repetition and simple diction emphasize tenderness and finality, turning a pastoral setting into a calm, intimate benediction: a soft goodnight to someone laid to rest or put to sleep.

Warm summer sun, Shine kindly here, Warm southern wind, Blow softly here. Green sod above, Lie light, lie light. Good night, dear heart, Good night, good night.
