The Song of the Elder Flower Fairy

Maybe a little bit optimistic with the current weather!

When the days have grown in length,
When the sun had greater power,
Shining in his noonday strength;
When the Elder Tree's in flower;
When each shady kind of place
By the stream and up the lane,
Shows its mass of creamy lace--
Summer's really come again!
