What is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune And over her softly her warm ear lays What is so rare as cool shade at noon? On steaming days of smog and haze? Yes, even in this month of June We sometimes get this sort of days. What is so weird as a lead balloon? Yet engineers who seek the new Built one, of lead in thinnest sheets Filled it with helium, and it flew. It would not fly on our Moon An airless world, all dry and dead No matter what's in that balloon It plummets like a chunk of lead. This year is last in its Baktun Some say that now this world will end Left dead, perhaps, like our Moon? Have we now seen the final June? |
