For the height of summer: a song, and a poem.
The lyrics, and another version of the song here.
An analysis of the poem here.

Another poem comes to mind:
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
-Mary Oliver, The Summer Day

Indeed! I’ve heard that poem, didn’t know the title! So timely, eh …
The lyrics to that [famous in Norway, a classic] song start out “we’ll not sleep away this summer night, it is too light for that …” – instead we will walk all through the woods and the dew and watch the grasshoppers and grass and birds the nature and noticing everything, and “we will know we are kin to the earth and the wind and the sky” …
all one big idea

I don’t know poems so well, but lemme take the opportunity to point out the “sun dagger” of Chaco Canyon, NM. Google it. It’s amazing, and the story of its discovery is amazing too.
