Proud insolent June with burning lips Holds riot now from sea to sea, And shod in sovran gold is she.

To the full flood of reaping slips The seeding-tide by God’s decree, Proud insolent June with burning lips Holds riot now from sea to sea.

And all the goodly fellowships Of bird and bloom and beast and tree Are gallant of her company-- Proud insolent June with burning lips Holds riot now from sea to sea, And shod in sovran gold is she.
