By virgin in the green she took me
Down by the banks of celandine
We fucked and wore the summer in
We rolled and wore the summer out

Made love a mist to hide in
Made lust a drink to drown in
Made both a shirt to wear and discard

We talked musk mallow birdsong
Loosestrife violet joy
The dodder-drained sun
Spurge the cut-grass whimpers
The creeping yellow cress sun
Summer's here and now

By virgin in the green the foxglove blush
Sticky-grass hair snagging summer scent
We fucked and reeled the summer in
We rolled and wore the summer out

And sang:
I the babbling meadowsweet stream
She the scented campion fields
I to cup the buttercup moon
She to wear a daisy-chain of stars.
