Well, I am thinking this may be my last
summer, but cannot lose even a part （8）
of pleasure in the old-fashioned art
of idleness. I cannot stand aghast
at whatever doom hovers in the background
while grass and trees and the somnolent river
who know they are allowed to last for ever
exchange between them the whole subdued sound （3）
of this hot time. What sudden fearful fate
can deter my shade wandering next year
from a return? Whistle, and I will hear （4）
and come another evening when this boat
travels with you alone towards Iffley:
as you lie looking up for thunder again,
this cool touch does not betoken rain; （7）
it is my spirit that kisses your mouth lightly.
