As summer winds down, we thought we share a little Warm Summer Sun, a poem by Mark Twain found via poets.org.

Warm Summer Sun ~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.

Good-bye summer!  Hello students!  Cheers to new beginnings and another academic term!
