6.21.2025 – warm summer sun shine

warm summer sun shine
shine kindly here – southern wind
blow warm, softly here

Sky paintings at the Calhoun Street Dock. Bluffton, SC

Based on the poem, Warm Summer Sun, By Mark Twain

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.

Written as a eulogy for his daughter Susy Clemens, who died of meningitis at only 24 years of age
